Good Ergonomics is Good Economics
Workers experiencing discomfort or pain are more likely to develop work-related musculoskeletal injuries (MSDs) and require medical treatment.
- MSDs account for 1 in every 3 workers compensation claims
- Direct costs associated with MSDs are estimated at $20 billion per year
- Indirect costs (lost productivity, replacement costs, etc.) associated with MSDs are typically 5 times the direct costs
Companies that integrate a culture of health & safety were found to outperform the S&P 500 by 3-fold over a 13-year period.
In our experience, the cost of not addressing ergonomic related concerns far exceeds the cost of instituting proactive measures.
Our team specializes in pinpointing areas of risk, formulating cost-effective improvement strategies, and implementing sustainable solutions.
We’re on a mission to help our clients create healthier, high-performing work environments for all employees that maximize overall comfort, improve worker efficiency, reduce risk of injury.
