The Benefits of Proactive Investment in Ergonomics

                               

As has been the case for decades, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) remain the most common category of work-related injuries, with issues such as back pain, tendinitis, and repetitive stress injuries affecting 25% of the world’s population. MSDs are also one of the leading causes of early retirement and worker disability.

So how do employers reduce MSD rates? The answer is ergonomics.

We tackled workplace ergonomics in-depth on the DORN Injury Prevention Academy Podcast with Jeffrey Smagacz, Ergonomics Practice Leader at Marsh. Jeffrey brings over 30 years of experience in crafting and implementing ergonomics programs for major employers around the world, including 90% of Fortune 1000 companies mitigating ergonomic risks, reducing injury rates, and cutting employer costs.
