Tele-Triage
Tele-Triage improves your safety program and your bottom line
When workers get hurt, you need a solution for quick care. With tele-triage, your employees call our toll-free number when an incident occurs for immediate treatment without leaving the job site.
Tele-Triage is purpose-built for workplace injury response, giving your employees access to licensed clinicians at the moment of incident. Whether on the floor, in the field, or on the road, injured workers get real-time medical evaluation and a customized first-aid plan, without unnecessary clinic visits or inflated costs.
How It Works
Assess – A licensed clinician immediately evaluates the incident based on the mechanism of the injury and our physician-created protocols
Develop – Create a first aid plan that takes into account all aspects of the injury, including the essential functions of the job
Ongoing Monitoring – We track progress, provide follow-up, and document every step with your employee
Resolution – The employee has returned to self-reported pre-injury status with first aid recommendations
Average time of initial call duration: 15 minutes
More than 60% of calls are resolved with tele-triage – these incidents are classified as First-Aid under OSHA guidelines
Tele-triage is less expensive per incident, which lowers your cost per case to significantly reduce overall injury costs.
There are less recordable cases since all treatment is classified as “First-Aid” under OSHA standards.
No claims are filed with your insurance carrier within Tele-Triage, this leads to improved MOD Rates and reduces Workers Compensation claims.
Instant access to medical assistance increases worker productivity and reduces downtime.

A 2024 study by NSC of 1,000 workers (“Frontline Worker Survey”) asked respondents for their perspectives on safety and health.

- Nearly 30% of workers who have experienced pain at work don’t report it.
- About 1 in 4 workers either don’t know how to report pain or aren’t sure if a process exists.
- Workers are more likely to report pain promptly when they understand safety programs, hear about ergonomics regularly and are asked about symptoms.
