[MCOH-EH] Safety Goals

[Thrasher, Terri (Terri)]

Safety is a journey… nothing is good until you reach zero… goals can indicate that journey.

We have a goal to reduce 50% by 2020 our OSHA recordables set by our executive leaders
We have a goal to reduce lost time and restricted duty set by our executive leaders
We have a goal and lots of interventions to reduce blood bornes and patient related injury and slips trips and falls and overexertion as well set by our safety team.

Is a trap of having numerical safety goals the implication that some level of non-safety is ok, and if so, ok with who?

Dear List Serve Members,

I would appreciate hearing from you about the goals your healthcare organization sets around employee safety.
1.       Does your governing board or leadership set a formal goal to address caregiver injuries in your organization?
2.       If so, what is your safety goal?
3.       What is the focus on employee safety in your organization?
4.       What are your organization's tactics or initiatives to reduce injuries?
5.       How do you measure success or movement toward your goal (besides reducing the injury rate)?

Thank you in advance for your response.
