Safety and mobility deals with aspects of safety as they relate to both the consumer/client and the worker. The PSW provides assistance in an effectively safe manner while providing comfort towards the client. As a result, the PSW must be aware of potential risks posed by unsafe equipment or settings. Furthermore, they must take appropriate actions if unsafe situations are identified. In addition, infection control methods are taught as infections can cause distress for both the consumer/client and the worker. This module also discusses body mechanics, consistency in transferring, lifting techniques and the use of equipment. Overall, this helps increase safety and reduces client anxiety, confusion and dependency. Lastly, students learn the importance of proper positioning in a bed or a chair for the comfort and safety of the client.
