The aim of the Ergonomic patient handling card® (later Card) -training scheme is to define the competencies, skill, and knowledge levels needed to be able to perform patient transfers safely; to ensure compliance with legislative requirements, and to improve both patient safety and the quality of care. By means of the scheme's exam, caregivers can prove their competence. Safe Patient Handling improves caregivers’ ability to assess and avoid risks and thus enhances both caregiver and patient safety, by lowering the physical load and decreasing the risk for work-related musculoskeletal injuries. The Card –training consists of the following four parts: 1) E-learning 2) Practical training of evidence-based principals 3) Application of evidence-based practice at the workplace, and 4) Repetition and exam. The Card is valid for five years; to keep it valid a one-day refresher training session is required.
