Workplace Injury Prevention

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD) represent a costly and significant proportion of work-related illness, injury and disability in the workplace. Our Workplace Injury Prevention program aims to identify potential problems at their earliest stages and, through systematic education, ergonomic assessment and remediation, and various protective strategies, prevent them from developing into disorders requiring medical attention.​
​
Many workers who experience discomfort at work wait to seek help until it’s too late to prevent an OSHA recordable injury or workers’ compensation claim. Our program is highly personalized and effective, allowing employees to engage our Injury Prevention Staff promptly. If an accident does occur, we can often help facilitate referrals to medical care, which minimizes waiting and indemnity costs.​

Return on investment is important in any business transaction, particularly with regard to injury prevention. According to the National Safety Council, work injuries in the United States cost $171 billion in 2019—and approximately $42,000 per medically-consulted injury!  ​Several studies estimate indirect costs (lost productivity, replacement employee training, etc.) to be as much as 4-8 times the direct costs! The annual Workplace Injury Prevention Program costs may be fully recouped on the basis of preventing a single injury.​
