The new Safety FiRsT program, which began in June, is accepting applications.
As part of its 360 Degrees of Safety initiative, Toshiba America Medical Systems has partnered with the ASRT Foundation to provide funding for up to two institutions to improve the safety of their technologists and therapists.
The program will empower project leaders to implement or improve a radiologic technology safety program at their facility. Selected organizations will receive a grant of up to $7,000, courtesy of Toshiba, to complete their project. Along with the grant, each facility will be given the ASRT institutional course Safety Essentials to share with department employees.
As part of the grant, facilities will share the results of their project and how it affected the safety of their technologists and therapists. Applications will be accepted until Sept. 1, 2015, with recipients selected in October.
For more details on eligibility and the application process, visit the Foundations’ Safety FiRsT page or contact Brooke Palmer at 800-444-2778, Ext. 1392.
