Why Reporting Mistreatment Matters

---

Unsafe workloads often lead to repetitive strain injuries, chronic pain, and even permanent damage. When we report, we shine a light on harmful practices that put our physical and mental health at risk.

Facilities that overwork their sonographers often prioritize profits over people. Reporting helps hold them accountable, pushing them to make changes — like hiring additional staff or adjusting unrealistic scheduling.

Burnt-out, injured, or rushed sonographers are more likely to make mistakes. That puts patients at risk. Reporting protects not just workers, but also the people we care for every day.

When we collect data from reports across the country, we build evidence for national advocacy. This data can influence policy, strengthen union efforts, and push for legislative protections.

Sometimes it feels like you’re the only one experiencing unsafe demands. By reporting, you become part of a collective voice — and that voice leads to real change.

All submissions are handled with care and confidentiality. Our team may reach out for more information if you provide contact details. Your report helps protect all sonographers.
