For 2014, our Group’s top cause of loss by claim count and dollars paid continue to be Strains/Sprains.  Our Group’s #2 cause of loss by claim count and dollars paid is Fall/Slip/Trip.  Struck By is our #3 cause of loss by claim count while Motor Vehicle Accidents is our #3 cause of loss for dollars paid.

There are several corrective actions you can take to reduce and prevent Strain/Sprain Injuries.  VFIS offers a Patient Handling – Preventing Patient Drops safety program.  The VFIS Patient Handling Kit #C10:025 can be ordered by calling VFIS at 800-233-1957 or from the VFIS website at www.vfis.com. 

Texas Mutual also offers a large variety of lifting and strain/sprain prevention resources as well as many other Safety Resources for our Safety Group on their website at www.texasmutual.com. 

There are a variety of products and tools that can used to assist with lifting and moving patients.  The HILT Human Injury-Limiting Tool is one such product and can be found at www.getahilt.com.   Another is the SmartLift Personal Lift and Transfer Vest which can be found at www.fallrecovery.com.  A Hover Matt can be used for air-assisted patient handling and can be found at www.hovermatt.com. Power cots are also available from Stryker and Ferno as well as other cot manufacturers and are well worth the cost.
