Rick Speir, CSP, senior loss consultant, Risk Control Services
Wednesday, 11:45 a.m.–1 p.m.
Dangerous exposures exist in all health care environments. Bloodborne pathogens, needle sticks, and back injuries can have catastrophic consequences for staffing firm employees. Although regulatory measures help ensure that health care facilities protect workers, the pace and nature of the work can still lead to injuries.
Explore risk management strategies for the health care staffing sector, including per diem, travel nursing, allied services, and home health care. Discover the limitations of protection provided by health care facilities and what to look for to make sure your employees are safe. Leave with an outline for an orientation program for caregivers and health care employees to reduce risk and manage your workers’ compensation claims. And learn how you can impact your bottom line with ASA’s and RCS’s Workers’ Compensation Risk Certification.

Kim Richards, RN, president, Kim Richards and Associates Inc.

Determine whether retained search is always best or whether contingent search is better in some situations. Attract the best qualified and most talented candidates who will continue to bring you business for years to come.
