EMS workers face back injuries from lifting and long shifts
County officials report most injury claims stem from back strain as EMS technicians lift patients and work 24 hour shifts. A mouse bite incident is noted, while large claims include 231 482 for an EMS tech and 151 905 for a deputy who died after an arrest. The safety panel, created in 1990, has reduced risks through training, back supports, equipment funding, and a district safety manual.
