Do Injury Prevention Solutions Replace Safety Managers?

Written by Tim Clark | Jun 25, 2021 5:04:31 PM

We asked several customers of our Virtual Injury Prevention platform what they feared most before implementing a solution like Healthy Roster's that helps eliminate workplace injuries.

The most popular response? "I'm worried I'll be out of a job!

When we asked the safety managers again, after implementation, here's what they told us: 

"We are rock stars!" 

What changed after they started using Healthy Roster to eliminate preventable MSDs and incidents? 

They were able to decrease claims for minor injuries, cut costs from missed work time, increased productivity, and improved MOD rates. They also saw an increase in employee satisfaction. 

"Healthy Roster is not designed to replace the safety manager, but to provide them with powerful tools that help them do their jobs even better than they already are," said Jason Barr, VP of Growth. "Without hiring additional safety employees, we help managers expand their team coverage to multiple sites, remote locations, late shifts, and give customized recommendations that promote healthier lifestyles to every single worker. And the employees love it!" 

Managers use Healthy Roster's innovative technology to increase communication and access to stretch and flex programs, personalized job coaching, pre-shift warmups, jobsite analysis, and the ability to easily have minor injuries checked out before they become claims. 

Safety managers are able to measure the engagement and impact of their new safety programs to report on progress and prove value. They use text surveys and get management alerts that enhance all their initiatives. 

They are also seeing a difference in employee morale. Workers like seeing that the companies care about their safety and well-being. They love getting custom conditioning recommendations, nutrition advice, sleep programs, and even footwear advice. They are having less sick days and less pain. 

One manager even found that Healthy Roster helped them during job interviews: 

"A couple of candidates that I've hired? I think it was a selling point for them. Really 'wowed' them!"
