No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Ambulance personnel often work in a dangerous environment and work related injuries of emergency medical staff have repeatedly been documented. However, only case reports are published and no data exist about the incidence and type of work related injuries of ambulance personnel.

Aims:

The primary aim of the study is to assess the incidence (number of new injuries per 100'000 emergency missions or per 1'000 flying hours) and type of work related injuries among prehospital emergency personal. The secondary aims are to identify risk factors associated with work related injuries and to compare the risk of injury to other groups of professionals such as hospital nurses, policemen or fire-fighters.
