BACKGROUND
This study evaluated the efficacy of a fire department proactive risk management program aimed at reducing firefighter injuries and their associated costs.
METHODS
Injury data were collected for the intervention fire department and a contemporary control department. Workers' compensation claim frequency and costs were analyzed for the intervention fire department only. Total, exercise, patient transport, and fireground operations injury rates were calculated for both fire departments.
RESULTS
There was a post-intervention average annual reduction in injuries (13%), workers' compensation injury claims (30%) and claims costs (21%). Median monthly injury rates comparing the post-intervention to the pre-intervention period did not show statistically significant changes in either the intervention or control fire department.
CONCLUSIONS
Reduced workers' compensation claims and costs were observed following the risk management intervention, but changes in injury rates were not statistically significant.
背景
本研究评估了消防部门旨在减少消防员受伤及其相关成本的主动风险管理计划的效果。
方法
收集了干预消防部门和一个当代对照部门的伤害数据。仅对干预消防部门的工伤赔偿索赔频率和成本进行了分析。计算了两个消防部门的总伤害率、演习伤害率、患者运输伤害率和火场作业伤害率。
结果
干预后，伤害（13%）、工伤赔偿伤害索赔（30%）和索赔成本（21%）平均每年有所下降。将干预后与干预前时期进行比较，干预消防部门和对照消防部门的月伤害率中位数均未显示出统计学上的显著变化。
结论
风险管理干预后，工伤赔偿索赔和成本有所降低，但伤害率的变化在统计学上并不显著。
