Abstract
In an acute hospital, staff from the Renal Dialysis Centre (RDC) transported haemodialysis machines to patients in various wards to enable bedside dialysis. The bedside service was provided for patients who were not suitable for transfer to the RDC due to their medical condition. The haemodialysis machines, together with the Reverse Osmosis (RO) water machines were transported from the RDC to the wards on a daily basis. The objectives of the study were to evaluate the ergonomic stress on the staff transporting the machines; and any other occupational safety concerns that may arise from the transfers.
