Industrial companies know the value of safety training. Safety leaders have been conducting sessions on accident prevention, incident response, using personal protective equipment, and more to educate employees on how to do their jobs safely, effectively and in compliance.
Of course, safety training isn't always a top priority and it doesn't help that the sessions can be boring, outdated, and easily forgotten during emergencies.
A lot of companies are now taking advantage of learning management systems (or LMS, for short) because outside trainers can be eliminated, productivity improved by avoiding lost time during classroom sessions, and it's easier for managers to track progress and access reporting data.
With the data from an LMS, they have all their information in one place and can easily see staff strengths and weaknesses, focus on those weak areas and make improvements, spot trends, and show any advances to company leadership.
But what about injury prevention & ergonomics training?
This is where many safety leaders are missing out. And why preventable injuries — those aches, pains, strains and sprains that workers get — keep happening in the workplace.
Industrial companies are not always taking advantage of all that emerging technology has to offer. They still rely on generic stretch & flex programs and morning warm-ups. But this is no substitute for a comprehensive ergonomics program.
Ten years ago, authors Dr. Sang Choi and Todd Woletz concluded, “While research does support that stretching improves flexibility/ROM and self-worth, stretching alone might not prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders and injuries."
Why not bring modern LMS technology into the workplace to help prevent injuries? 
As an integral part of the Safety Ally solution from Healthy Roster, we offer a complete ergonomics and injury prevention training component that provides current, relevant, and customizable content to each worker — based on their role.
By giving workers access to interactive mobility training programs, they'll be more engaged and they'll have access to specific video content, followed-up with informational text, and tested on their knowledge. They'll also have the opportunity to connect with workplace athletic trainers to address areas of concern and even deal with current pain issues they may be having.
