Mechanical Lift Safety Training Webinar
Aug 6, 2025, 1:00 PM-2:30 PM
The Safe Lift: Mechanical Lift Safety Training session will prepare organizations to implement the Safe Lift practices outlined in the LeadingAge Minnesota Foundation “Roadmap to Effective Mechanical Lift Safety Practices.” The Safe Lift practices and resources are the result of an in-depth analysis, including on-site observations and interviews with staff, families and residents, of the equipment and process design issues at the root of mechanical lift falls.
The training will also prepare you to implement an important component of Safe Lift—the Safe Lift: STOP for Safety Campaign which consists of a simple, 3-step process for staff to conduct a structured safety pause prior to resident transfers. Resources will be shared to “kick-off” a membership-wide STOP for Safety campaign to ensure that every lift is a Safe Lift.
