by JD Healthcare Group

Nurses and caregivers suffer one of the highest levels of work-related back injuries compared to any other profession, accounting for over 70% of all injuries.

According to the The Australian Bureau of Statistics, of the 531 thousand people who suffered a work related injury in 2013-14, 34% sustained their injury through lifting, pushing, pulling, or lowering activities.

This is why JD Healthcare Group has introduced the L.S.P program, to provide more world-class solutions to improve safety for people who care for people.

Mechanical and remote controlled LIFT devices to ensure minimal physical exertion by the carer, whilst safely working with weights of up to 544kg.

Our SHIFT solutions aim to eliminate or reduce required Push and Pull forces by up 90%, making safety our number one priority for carers performing lateral movement of ambulatory, non-ambulatory or deceased persons as well as beds and equipment

Our PLACE portfolio comprises of two major elements. Our “Surface solutions” provides an arrangement of safe patient positioning devices as well as pressure care surfaces, whilst our “Environment solutions” keep people safe by reducing the spread of germs whilst also maintaining privacy for people in departments, wards and rooms.
