Services: Ergonomics

Are your employees missing work due to sprains, strains, carpal tunnel, or other musculo-skeletal disorders (MSDs)?

Do you know how to identify problem jobs so you can prevent these frustrating, costly injuries?

Ergonomic injuries can result from work activities that are performed in awkward postures, with high forces, or using repetitive motion. MSDs are the leading type of workplace injury. National statistics show that MSDs account for:

• 35-40% of all reported injuries
• $15-20 billion in workers’ compensation costs per year

And these costs are just the tip of the iceberg. They do not include lost production, lost income, and employee replacement and training costs. The annual actual cost of poor ergonomics is estimated to be $80 billion.
