Injury prevention programs have existed for decades. But 4 major gaps exist…

Every industrial workplace struggles to contain employee injuries.

But the work environment creates or worsens musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) - the pains and strains from lifting heavy objects, overhead work, repetitive motion and flexing, and daily exposure to vibrations that affect the neck, shoulders, legs, elbows, wrists, and backs. 

In fact, 69% of all work injuries — the ones employers have the best chance to prevent — are MSDs. 

These injuries create lost time, lost workdays, and days away that affect a company's productivity, overtime pay, stress on uninjured workers to cover for the injured, as well as absenteeism and turnover rates. 

Industrial employers obviously need to reduce injuries, but they have those gaps... 

The 4 Gaps
Let's take a look at the major gaps in injury prevention programs: 

Gap #1
Safety teams lack enough budget or staff to cover all locations and shifts

Gap #2
Ergonomic assessments lack follow-thru making them costly and inadequate

Gap #3
Pre-injury data is often delayed or under-reported creating blind spots for safety

Gap #4
Even when minor, the majority of workplace injuries are treated with medical attention offsite

The gaps in your safety initiatives are costing you time and money and they're negatively affecting your employees.
