McLeod Occupational Health has received two statewide safety awards for 2024 from Palmetto Hospital Trust (PHT), recognising its performance in reducing workplace risks and managing employee injury claims across its operations.
The organisation was presented with both the Safety Award and the Claims Impact Reduction Award, honours administered by Antum Risk on behalf of PHT, South Carolina’s workers’ compensation self-insurance pool for hospitals and healthcare providers.
The Safety Award is given to organisations that achieve a Risk Reduction Objectives score of at least 90% while maintaining a claims rate of 2.70 or lower. McLeod met both benchmarks, completing more than 90% of PHT’s prescribed safety and prevention initiatives. These included enhanced staff training, addressing workplace hazards, and strengthening incident reporting processes, alongside consistently low injury rates.
McLeod also secured the Claims Impact Reduction Award, which recognises organisations that keep both lost time claim frequency and severity below the PHT average. The award reflects McLeod’s ability not only to prevent injuries but also to respond effectively when incidents occur, ensuring timely support for affected employees.
The dual recognition highlights McLeod Occupational Health’s continued focus on proactive safety management and effective claims handling within the healthcare sector.
