On-Site First-Aid Solutions for Workplace Safety

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
• Burns (first and second degree)
• Sprains, strains, and minor musculoskeletal injuries
• Eye injuries and foreign body removal
• Minor fractures and dislocations (splinting/stabilization)
• Workplace-specific injuries relevant to your industry

Our certified medical professionals are trained to assess injuries thoroughly and provide appropriate on-the-spot care. If an injury requires more advanced medical attention (e.g., complex sutures, significant fractures), our team will stabilize the employee and coordinate efficient transfer to a higher level of care, such as an ER or specialist.

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. Factors influencing response time include:

• Your exact location relative to our nearest available first-aid responder
• Current traffic and weather conditions
• Time of day and call volume

We continuously optimize our dispatching to ensure the fastest possible arrival. For businesses with very high-risk operations or frequent needs, QuickCare also offers dedicated on-site staffing options for immediate response capabilities.

QuickCare's on-site first-aid significantly helps reduce OSHA recordable incidents through several mechanisms:

• First Aid vs. Medical Treatment: OSHA defines specific treatments that elevate an incident from "first aid" (generally non-recordable) to "medical treatment" (recordable). Our professionals provide expert first aid, often avoiding the need for treatments like prescription medications or sutures for minor wounds that would trigger recordability if handled off-site.
• Preventing Escalation: Immediate, appropriate care prevents minor injuries from worsening, thereby avoiding potentially recordable complications or treatments down the line.
• Professional Assessment On-Site: QuickCare clinicians properly assess injuries and deliver necessary first aid without unnecessarily escalating to recordable medical treatment, unlike potentially less conservative approaches at external facilities.
• Clear Documentation: We provide detailed documentation classifying the care provided (first aid vs. medical treatment), which supports your accurate OSHA 300 log recordkeeping.

While reducing OSHA recordables is a key benefit of QuickCare, our primary focus is always providing the most appropriate and effective medical care for the injured employee's well-being.

Following every QuickCare on-site first-aid response, we provide comprehensive, HIPAA-compliant documentation that includes:

• Detailed assessment of the injury and circumstances
• Specific first-aid treatments provided and supplies used
• Clear classification of care (First Aid or recommendation for Medical Treatment)
• Recommendations for any necessary follow-up care
• Employee's work status assessment and any recommended restrictions
• Timestamps for call received, arrival, and departure
• Secure digital copy easily accessible via the QuickCare client portal

This detailed documentation is crucial for supporting your OSHA compliance, streamlining workers' compensation processes, and facilitating effective internal safety analysis and reporting.

Partnering with QuickCare directly assists your business in meeting several key OSHA compliance requirements related to first aid and medical services (OSHA 1910.151):

• Medical Personnel Availability: QuickCare ensures the "ready availability" of medical personnel for advice and consultation, satisfying a core OSHA mandate.
• "Near Proximity" Standard: For workplaces without an infirmary or clinic "in near proximity," OSHA requires persons adequately trained in first aid. QuickCare's mobile response model effectively addresses this, especially where timely access to off-site facilities is challenging.
• Adequate First Aid Supplies: OSHA requires readily accessible first aid supplies. QuickCare responders arrive fully equipped, supplementing your on-site supplies.
• Trained Personnel Provision: Our service provides certified medical professionals, fulfilling the requirement for adequately trained personnel to render first aid.
• Recordkeeping Support: QuickCare's meticulous documentation aids accurate OSHA 300 log entries and overall compliance record management.

Businesses utilizing QuickCare's on-site first-aid typically realize significant cost savings through multiple avenues:

• Lower Direct Medical Costs: QuickCare's fixed per-visit fee (avg. $525) is substantially less than typical urgent care ($700-$1,500) or emergency room visits ($1,500-$3,000+), especially when factoring in potential ambulance costs avoided.
• Reduced Workers' Compensation Costs: By preventing minor injuries from escalating and reducing OSHA recordables, QuickCare helps lower the frequency and severity of workers' comp claims, often leading to reduced premiums over time.
• Increased Productivity: Treating employees on-site drastically cuts down on lost work time for the injured individual and eliminates time spent by supervisors or colleagues transporting them to off-site facilities.
• Elimination of Transportation Expenses: No need for costly ambulance services or dedicating company resources/vehicles for transport.
• Administrative Efficiency: QuickCare's comprehensive reports simplify incident reporting and claims processing, saving administrative time and effort.

Many QuickCare clients report overall savings of 30-50% on costs associated with workplace injuries after implementing our mobile first-aid solutions.
