Healthcare companies provide their services in the occupational setting to treat employees when they're injured and prevent injuries before they happen. They help keep workers productive, reduce lost work time, and reduce costs. We interviewed Dan Fronczak, President & Co-Founder of Healthy Roster, about how they help providers expand coverage and grow their businesses. 

According to a recent study, workers who performed brief, simple strengthening exercises during work hours (but not after work) prevented long-term sickness absences and days away from work. 

Athletes move.

That's what they do. To accomplish their goals, excessive movement is required. Running, jumping, twisting, pushing, lifting... it's all part of the game. 

We are so glad you asked! The fine folks over at EHS Today just published an interesting article that talks about that very subject — in "The Wild, Wonderful World of Manufacturing Ergonomics" — written by a certified, licensed athletic trainer! 

So, the best way to provide workplace safety coverage is...

Too expensive. 

A recent survey by Sphera has shed light on the importance of safety for companies but also identified a gap between having a culture of safety and actually improving workplace safety processes. Nearly every business wants to keep their employees safe, healthy, happy, and productive. But moving from wanting something and making it happen are two different things and, according to the survey, only about 40% of companies have a well-defined roadmap to improve safety performance. 

First, we wanted to let you know that... 

Ergonomics assessments prevent injuries; ergo, you need ergonomics.

Ergo is a Latin word meaning "therefore". But when used as a prefix it means work (which was borrowed from the Greek word érgon) and combined with nomics (borrowing the Greek word nomos for laws) it means the "laws of work". So what is ergonomics and how does it prevent workplace injuries? 

In a recent article, Forbes suggested that workplace safety is not getting the attention that it should. And we tend to agree. They provide 5 actions that industrial companies can take to address safety at work:

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

Every industrial workplace struggles to contain employee injuries.
