Company-wide Commitment
Leads to Ongoing Success
Being committed to safety is priority for Fayette County Hospital. The
Vandalia, Ill.-based hospital and long-term care facility serves the southcentral portion of the state, and is located approximately 75 miles outside
of St. Louis. The organization maintains a top-level safety program—
which is impressive considering the variety of potential exposures a
facility of this nature faces.
Operated by Heartland Health System, Inc., Fayette County Hospital is a
25-bed critical access hospital and 80-bed long-term facility. Established
in 1955, the organization is recognized for helping the community
maintain good health while keeping its employees safe. Without
question, on-the-job injuries can potentially stack up in an environment
with more than 300 employees.
Fayette County Hospital has been an Amerisure Insurance Company
policyholder since 2011. Working in collaboration with Charles L. Crane
Agency Co., a Platinum Premier Partner® in Amerisure’s Partners for
Success® program, the organization has a 23 percent loss ratio. “They
have a compassionate attitude toward their employees and patients,”
explained Tony Catlett, Charles L. Crane Agency Co. Producer. “Through
the years, Fayette County Hospital has realized the value of Amerisure’s
programs and they continue to expand upon them through their ongoing
commitment to safety.”

employees and is willing to take whatever steps necessary to
advance their organization. They were in good shape when
they became our policyholder, and through the years, we
have been able to fine-tune their safety culture.”
One of their first steps was to provide Experience Modifier
Rate (EMR) training to show how accident investigations
can reduce future claims and help maintain Fayette County
Hospital’s favorable loss history. Accident Investigation
Training was also conducted with their Safety Committee,
which has existed for more than 30 years. This vital training
not only gave the tools necessary to document accidents, it
also taught them to assign corrective actions and to share
the information with all workers in order to prevent an
incident from reoccurring.
“The ultimate goal of any safety program is to prevent injuries
and save lives, and Fayette County Hospital does just that,
while also providing a number of additional benefits,” said
Kendall Clavin, Amerisure Senior Marketing Underwriter.
“Their low incident rate has led to their excellent EMR, which
helps generate lower insurance costs.”
Every 18 months, hospital employees participate in an
Employee Safety Perception Survey. A recommendation that
came out of one of the surveys was to inform employees
where they could locate patient handling equipment, such
as: HoverMatt® air transfer systems, Hoyer® Patient Lifts,
sit-to-stand lifts, and slide sheets within the hospital. The
list of equipment was communicated and published in
the hospital’s employee newsletter to ensure it was easily
accessible for all employees when needed.
“I cannot say enough about the partnership between Charles
L. Crane Agency, Fayette County Hospital and Amerisure,”
commented Susie Crawford, Fayette County Hospital Human
Resource Director. “I don’t view them as vendors, but as
partners in keeping our employees safe. They are always
there for us, provide a fresh perspective and help fill in the
gaps in regards to safety for our employees and patients.
You cannot put a price tag on that kind of relationship.”
OSHA Issues New Standard for Construction Work in
Confined Spaces
Beginning August 3, 2015, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) will be implementing a new
standard for construction work in confined spaces. The rule
requires employers to determine what kinds of spaces their
workers are in, what hazards could be there, how those
hazards should be made safe, what training workers should
receive, and how to rescue those workers if anything goes
wrong.
There are five key differences and several areas where OSHA
has clarified existing requirements:
1. Requiring coordinated activities when there are multiple
employers at the worksite. This ensures hazards are not
introduced into a confined space by workers performing
tasks outside the space.
2. Requiring a competent person to evaluate the work site
and identify confined spaces, including permit spaces.
3. Requiring continuous atmospheric monitoring whenever
possible.
4. Requiring continuous monitoring of engulfment hazards.
5. Allowing for suspension of a permit, instead of cancellation,
in the event of changes from the entry conditions list on
the permit or an unexpected event requiring evacuation
of the space. The space must be returned to the entry
conditions listed on the permit before re-entry.
6
In addition, OSHA has added provisions to the new rule
that clarifies existing requirements in the General Industry
standard, which include:
• Requiring employers who direct workers to enter a space
without using a complete permit system prevent workers’
exposure to physical hazards through elimination of the
hazard or isolation methods such as lockout/tagout.
• Requiring employers who are relying on local emergency
services for emergency services arrange for responders to
give the employer advance notice if they will be unable to
respond for a period of time (because they are responding
to another emergency, attending department-wide
training, etc.).
• Requiring employers to provide training in a language
and vocabulary the worker understands.

webpage at: https://www.osha.gov/confinedspaces/index.
