A home caregiver is a hero and champion to someone. A professional home caregiver is hero and champion to many.

Any caregiver, whether health care professional or family member, faces a number of serious safety and health hazards. If you are a caregiver, you should always be aware of the potential hazards to you and the person who depends on you.

More workers are injured in the healthcare and social assistance industry sector than any other. This industry has one of the highest rates of work related injuries and illnesses.
