Ergonomic Assessments and Training
According to the 2008 Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index report, ergonomic-related injury categories topped the list for most disabling workplace injuries and illnesses. These injuries accounted for more than half of the $48.6 billion dollar direct workers’ compensation costs in the U.S. during the span of the study. A study by the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine listed back and neck pain as the top conditions on their list of direct and indirect healthcare cost drivers. The good news is that as an employer, you can significantly reduce these costs through ergonomic interventions such as assessments and training. No one wants to get injured on the job, and you can work to prevent unnecessary injuries by helping employees understand ergonomic risk factors and proper body mechanics, and encouraging behavioral changes. Ergonomic assessments can further assist by identifying obstacles in the workplace that may be contributing to injuries. Our "on-the-job coaching" service allows us to work with employees without having to stop production or interfere with the work being done.
