The successes of the Regional Medical Center and Edisto Regional Health Services in keeping employees safe from workplace accidents were rewarded recently with checks totaling $242,678 from Palmetto Hospital Trust, the workers’ compensation self-insurance pool in which the RMC and ERHS participate.
Columbia-based PHT Services Ltd. administers the workers’ compensation program for the RMC, ERHS, and other South Carolina hospitals and health systems participating in Palmetto Hospital Trust. PHT and its members are known for their emphasis on preventing lifting injuries, trips and falls, injuries from sharp objects, and for helping injured workers return to work as soon as their condition permits. All of these loss-prevention techniques have been instrumental in helping PHT members earn refunds for their contribution to the group self-insurance program’s success.
