Live From the Expo Floor #12: Improving Provider Safety

11/25/2021

Safety in EMS encompasses threats both familiar (needlesticks, lifting injuries) and new (COVID, increasing assaults). Together they're making things really dangerous out there. In the final episode of our "Live From the Expo Floor" podcast series from EMS World Expo 2021, host Mike McCabe talks with Nick Adams, operations chief and head of health and safety for Georgia's Cobb County Fire and Emergency Services, about the big threats and how to mitigate them.
