Empower Your Organization to
Implement and Execute a Best Practice Ergonomics and MSD Prevention Process

See What’s IncludedRegister Today

Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are the most common and costly injuries today. The human and business costs of MSDs are staggering. The good news is that these injuries are preventable. It’s time to think prevention.

  • MSDs Account for33%of All Injuries (BLS)
  • Direct Costs of MSDs Are$20 BillionPer Year (OSHA)

  • MSDs carry a huge financial burden, but the human costs are the best motivation for prevention

  • MSD cases require 38% more lost time days than the average injury

  • MSDs are the leading cause of pain, suffering and disability in American workplaces

 

A big MSD problem presents you with a big MSD prevention opportunity. Implementing a process that is prevention-focused, comprehensive and sustainable gains value over time, providing you with a strong return on your investment and a major win for your organization (and your career).

Armed with the right strategy, the right tools and the right training, you can prevent most (if not all) MSDs. We’re here to empower you to accomplish this for your organization.

Audit

Find out how your process compares to a best practice MSD prevention process.

Use the comprehensive Ergonomics Plus audit (we call it the MSD Prevention Scorecard) to assess your MSD prevention process. The audit will give you a score from 1 to 100 which you can use to benchmark your process.

Like any process, you will need to identify the gap between where you are and where you want to be. This hard look at the reality of your situation allows you to have a clear view of what you need to do to close that gap. Use the MSD Prevention Scorecard to find out how your process stacks up.

The results speak volumes about the impact of this program on our facility. We reduced MIR from 23.11 all the way down to 2.8 last year, and our OSHA recordable injuries went from thirty in 2005 down to zero in 2009 and just two last year.
