There was a time when wearing gloves in healthcare wasn't the norm.
Some resisted. Some questioned the need. Others worried it would get in the way of patient care.
Sound familiar?
Join us for a LIVE Insider Session on Wednesday, October 7th as we discuss how EMS safety is following a similar path and what leaders can do to move their organizations from awareness to action.
Learn how agencies are improving restraint use, strengthening safety culture, and better protecting crews through leadership, policies, training, and technology.

Closing the Safety Gap: From Resistance to Advocacy in Ambulance Safety
- with Josh Motsinger and Melissa Dobbs
Ambulance crashes remain a leading cause of injury for EMS professionals, yet many providers continue to ride unrestrained while delivering patient care. The challenge is not simply equipment. It's culture. This webinar explores how EMS leaders can drive meaningful safety improvements through education, leadership, SOPs, and proven change-management strategies.
Using the Resistance → Acceptance → Adoption → Advocacy framework, attendees will learn how safety initiatives evolve from skepticism to standard practice, much like the adoption of latex gloves in healthcare. Once viewed as optional, gloves became an industry standard because leaders combined education, policy, accountability, and cultural reinforcement. EMS safety is following a similar path. Through real-world crash data, incident investigations, and practical examples, attendees will gain actionable insights to strengthen safety culture, improve restraint use, and better protect crews without compromising patient care. The session will also highlight modern ambulance occupant protection solutions, including advanced restraint and airbag technologies, and how they are designed to address common injury mechanisms identified in ambulance crashes and rollover events.
