SDML Workers’ Compensation Fund Extends Grant Programs for the 2015 Year Many of you are aware that for the past five years the SDML Workers’ Compensation Fund has offered two different grant programs to its members. Because these grant programs promote safety to our members, the SDML WCF Board of Trustees decided to offer both grant programs for the 2015 year on a first come first serve basis until the grant funds are exhausted. This first grant is in partnership with Stryker EMS to assist our membership in purchasing a Stryker Power-PRO™ cot or a Stryker Stair-PRO® chair. The intent is to provide a safer workplace for the voluntary EMT’s, firefighters, police officers, and all local governmental employees that assist the ambulance services to provide emergency transfer of patients. Congratulation to the 39 grant recipients listed below: Arlington Ambulance Bridgewater Douglas Co Amb – Corsica Douglas Co Amb – Armour W. McPherson Co EMS Watertown Faulk County Hoven Miner County

The second grant is in partnership with Stan Houston Equipment to assist members with the purchase of an ICS® Saw Package. The ICS® saw is very beneficial in reducing the risk of injury during activities that require the use of a chop saw, particularly to cut and repair broken water pipes in a confined space.
