Emergency Medicine Services Injury Prevention Program
The Emergency Medicine Services (EMS) Injury Prevention Program was established in 2020 with the goal of reducing EMS work-related musculoskeletal injuries. In this program, we work with EMS providers and their safety leadership to set organizational health and safety goals, characterize exposures, and identify controls.
We offer hands-on workshops where we discuss:
- Ergonomic exposures
- Importance of reporting incidents and on-the-job injuries
- Stretches and strengthening exercises
- Healthy work postures
- Safe patient handling techniques
