Starting in 2011, we want to make May the month to focus on injury prevention in sonography.   This is a month when your year-round efforts of addressing the "spectrum" of injuries in the ultrasound profession can be recognized and intensified. 

Sound Ergonomics is the leader in injury-prevention education and ergonomic products for the medical imaging profession, and we would like to encourage you to think of creative ways that your company or facility can enhance the awareness of workplace safety for sonographers and sonologists.   Join us in reducing the current prevalence of this injury.

Here are some suggestions for ways you might recognize PRISM:

·        "lunch & learn" lectures

·        Customer workshops

·        Ergonomics webinars

·        Providing personal adaptive equipment for the department, such as cable      support arm bands, support cushions, or a Shoulder Assist arm support

·        Regular weekly massage in the ultrasound department. - aaaah!

 We would also like to encourage ultrasound departments to send us a written "case report" if they have successfully implemented a worker safety program or initiative for publication on the Sound Ergonomics' website - share your successes with others so that they might benefit from your experience!
