      \n\t\t\t\t\t\tEMS provider health and safety is of upmost importance to us here at the Virginia Office of EMS. From musculoskeletal injuries to exposure to harmful infectious diseases, providers are regularly put in harms way when caring for others. One of our primary goals is to continually work toward reducing workplace injuries and promote provider health and safety within the field. Please take time to explore the various topics and resources promoting provider health and safety.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
