Safer Practices in EMS

Sponsored by Verizon

EMS workers are placed in harm’s way as a daily routine. While EMS will never be a completely safe vocation, steps can be made to maximize the chances that providers can return to their families safe at the end of their shifts.

Maintaining a level of awareness and taking proactive steps to exit potentially dangerous situations, while still ensuring patients receive the help they need, is a good start. PPE and safety devices can help.

Staying safe on the job should be a provider’s number one priority. Finding what works for each responder specifically, and tailoring equipment, preparation, and knowledge in each situation is the best strategy, and can send EMS crew members into any situation with composure and confidence.
