Injury Prevention and Cost Containment through On-Site Ergonomics
On-Site Ergonomics is the key to good management, not just good injury management.
Poor work habits or work design lead to:
- worker fatigue
- absenteeism and lost time
- increased turnover, hiring, and training
- poor quality and re-work time and delays
- replacement worker costs
- increased costs and lower profits
On-Site Ergonomics is a strategy designed to improve your bottom line, based on the following principles:
- addressing problems before they develop into an injury or illness
- facilitating individual health and wellness
- referral to proper medical care on a timely basis, when indicated
- making services available directly to the workforce, at the work site
On-Site Ergonomics integrates ergonomics, injury prevention, and employee wellness creating a unique bridge between human resources, safety, and finance.
Industrial therapists work directly with employees to optimize conditions and processes and reduce the risks. Therapists triage the worker, the risk factor or complaint, the situation in which it occurs, and offer solutions. Solutions include first aid, posture changes, process modification, or exercises to increase mobility or strengthen a weakness in the worker. The therapist works with both workers and management, as a team, for the best and most cost effective solution. Therapists refer to a medical professional if employees present with signs or symptoms consistent with specific injury or illness.
