title: Reducing on the job injuries.
abstract: Forming a Safety Team in conjunction with the Hospital's Safety Department to develop and implement a plan to reduce injuries of security officers has resulted in a substantial reduction of such injuries and the costs involved, the author reports. This, he adds, despite increases in the number of incidents which in the past were potentially the most frequent causes of injuries.
