"A multi-faceted, whole-person ergonomics and wellness program will keep employers in front of issues and help mitigate risk for employees. This proactive process can keep an organization well ahead of injury issues and trends, allowing for the flexibility to adjust programming to meet new threats without sacrificing the base model of the process." - Keith Osborne, CEAS, CWS, MFT

Evolving Ergonomics: The State of Injury Prevention

In this white paper, we will discuss the current state of workplace injury prevention and ergonomics, reviewing prominent trends and projections to highlight major challenges and help employers anticipate obstacles. Likewise, we will cover strategies for identifying ergonomic risk factors and conducting effective worksite analysis toward lower injury rates, showcasing how organizations can evaluate and rank hazards for efficient interventions. Finally, we will examine the connections between ergonomics and mental health and wellness, outlining case studies from major employers and demonstrating how employers can integrate a holistic perspective that will result in successful ergonomics programs, no matter the worksite or industry.

Inside, we explore:

1

Recent data and new evidence-based projections for ergonomic injury rates and costs

2

Detailed information on ergonomic risk factors across all major industries, identified by expert ergonomists with decades of field experience

3

Guidance on conducting effective ergonomic assessments and selecting the best interventions

4

How mental health relates to ergonomics, injuries, and workplace safety

5

Components of a successful ergonomics program that can be adapted to any workplace
