Work related musculoskeletal back, neck, and arm injuries in nursing staff most commonly result from patient handling tasks. Over the past 30 years, efforts to reduce these injuries included training in body mechanics and lifting techniques, elimination of "weaker" staff, and work hardening. Although these interventions have generally not improved outcomes, substantial reductions in such injuries have resulted through programs with patient handling equipment that reduce biomechanical loads of caregivers. Although SPH research has primarily been directed toward nurses, others who perform manual patient handling are also at high risk for injury and will benefit from SPH measures. Importantly, SPH Programs and the institution of patient-handling equipment have been found to enhance nursing retention and recruitment, as well as improve the quality of patient care. 3.JUSTIFICATION Fabrication, installation and certification of patient ceiling lift systems in the following inpatient rooms at the Robley Rex VAMC, Louisville, KY. The lift system rails are to be designed so the lift system will provide patient lift capability over the entire floor area of each patient room listed below. All lift systems to be mounted with mounting hardware/structures above the finished ceiling, with only the traverse rails below the finished ceiling. Where wall mounted floor support systems are required, such a system will be evaluated, but is less desirable. All systems will have a minimum weight capacity of 550 pounds. All lift systems will be cross compatible with the existing LIKO lift systems for cross use of lift bars and slings. The purpose of this cross compatibility is for ease of training, and cleaning/stocking slings. Each lift system will be supplied with two slings. Each lift installation will utilize existing electrical power with a reasonable solution for parking the lift motor. Offers requiring the addition of electrical power must note that on the offer. Service and maintenance requirements must be included in the offer. Installation must be complete within 90 days of acceptance, working around sporadic availability of patient rooms. Training will be provided for all staff covering all three shifts. All workers are subject to security screening, and are expected to be experienced in working in a hospital environment. The work area is expected to be returned to service in the same clean condition it was found. A site visit is required to evaluate the rooms as listed: Ward 6 South, single occupancy rooms A609 thru A616 inclusively Ward 6 South double occupancy rooms A622, A623, A625 & A626 Ward 6 North single occupancy rooms A655, A656, A658, & A669 Ward 5 North single occupancy rooms A560, A561, A562, A568, A569, A574, A575 Ward 5 North double occupancy room A563
