The following video clips demonstrate various types of equipment and their use in a successful safe patient/resident handling environment. The specific equipment displayed in these videos are not endorsed by the New York State Department of Labor. There are many manufacturers and distributors that provide similar equipment. It is important for every employer to determine which manufacturer supplies the right equipment for their application.
