Transform Your Emergency Response with On-Site First Aid

QuickCare's on-site first-aid response is equipped to address a wide range of common workplace injuries, including but not limited to:

• Cuts, lacerations, and puncture wounds (including adhesive closures/staples where appropriate for First Aid classification)
• Burns (first and second degree)
• Sprains, strains, and minor musculoskeletal injuries
• Eye injuries and foreign body removal (non-embedded)
• Splinting/stabilization for suspected minor fractures/dislocations before transport if needed
• Chemical exposures (skin/eye irrigation)

Our certified medical professionals assess injuries thoroughly. If an injury requires care beyond the scope of first aid (e.g., complex sutures, significant fractures requiring reduction, prescription medication), our team stabilizes the employee and coordinates efficient transfer to the appropriate level of care (ER, specialist, occupational health clinic), often preventing unnecessary and costly ambulance trips for non-emergencies.

QuickCare's current average response time across our service areas is 54 minutes from the moment your designated personnel places a call to our 24/7 dispatch center. Response time depends on:

• Your worksite's location relative to our nearest available first-aid responder.
• Real-time traffic and weather conditions.
• Time of day and current call volume.

We utilize strategic stationing and optimized dispatching to ensure the fastest possible arrival. For businesses with specific high-risk needs, dedicated on-site staffing options are also available. Please check our service map for coverage details in your area or contact us for specifics.

This is a key benefit. QuickCare helps reduce OSHA recordables primarily by:

• Providing First Aid, Not Unnecessary Medical Treatment: OSHA defines specific treatments that trigger recordability (e.g., prescription meds, sutures for wound closure, rigid splinting for stabilization *not* transport). Our team provides expert *first aid* on-site, often resolving issues without needing these recordable interventions that might occur reflexively at an off-site facility.
• Preventing Escalation: Immediate, appropriate care stops minor injuries from worsening into conditions requiring recordable treatment.
• Professional On-Site Assessment: Our clinicians make informed decisions based on the injury, avoiding unnecessary escalation common in ER/urgent care settings focused on liability over OSHA classification.
• Clear Documentation: We document care precisely, classifying it as "First Aid" whenever appropriate according to OSHA guidelines, supporting your accurate OSHA 300 log entries.

Our priority is always the employee's well-being, but our process inherently aligns with minimizing unnecessary recordables by providing the *right* level of care on-site.

After each on-site visit, QuickCare provides comprehensive, HIPAA-compliant documentation electronically via our secure client portal. This includes:

• Detailed patient care report (PCR) outlining the assessment, injury details, and circumstances.
• Specific first-aid treatments provided and supplies used.
• Clear classification of care provided (First Aid vs. recommendation for further Medical Treatment).
• Employee's work status determination (return to full duty, modified duty recommendations, or advise off work).
• Recommendations for follow-up care, if any.
• Timestamps for call received, arrival, treatment, and departure.

This robust documentation is invaluable for OSHA compliance, workers' compensation claim management, internal incident reviews, and demonstrating your commitment to safety protocols.

Partnering with QuickCare directly addresses several aspects of OSHA standard 1910.151 (Medical services and first aid):

• Readily Available Medical Personnel: QuickCare ensures access to trained medical professionals for advice and first-aid treatment, fulfilling section (b).
• Near Proximity Requirement: In workplaces where an infirmary, clinic, or hospital is not in "near proximity," OSHA requires trained first-aiders. QuickCare's mobile response model effectively satisfies this, providing professional care faster than transport might allow.
• Adequate First Aid Supplies: While you still need basic on-site supplies (per section b), QuickCare responders arrive fully equipped for a wider range of first-aid needs, ensuring adequacy.
• Trained Responders: Our certified professionals meet and exceed the "adequately trained" personnel requirement.
• Documentation Support: Our detailed reports aid your recordkeeping obligations under OSHA.

By utilizing QuickCare, you demonstrate a proactive and effective system for managing workplace injuries, strengthening your overall compliance posture. Learn more on our OSHA compliance documentation page.

QuickCare delivers significant cost savings through several key areas:

• Lower Direct Medical Costs: Our average per-visit fee (~$525) is dramatically lower than ER visits ($1,500-$3,000+) or Urgent Care ($700-$1,500+).
• Reduced Workers' Compensation Impact: By minimizing OSHA recordables and providing appropriate care that avoids unnecessary escalation, QuickCare helps lower the frequency and severity of claims impacting your Experience Modification Rate (EMR) and premiums.
• Maximized Productivity: Treating employees on-site drastically reduces lost work time (often by 60% or more) compared to off-site visits, minimizing operational disruption.
• Avoided Transportation Costs: Eliminates the need for expensive ambulance transport for non-emergencies or using company resources/personnel for transport.
• Administrative Efficiency: Streamlined reporting simplifies incident management and claims processing.

Overall, businesses using QuickCare often see a significant return on investment through these combined savings, making it a financially sound safety strategy.
