We all know how to do our jobs, but no one has ever taught us how to
work 'safely.' While there have been attempts to federally regulate
ergonomics, these have failed in all but one state, California,
which has the only active OSHA regulation to protect workers from
repetitive motion injuries. With this in mind, employers are
encouraged to voluntarily support an active ergonomics process
within their workplace to prevent and manage injuries more
effectively.
Contrary to popular belief, injury prevention and
safety is not common sense. In order to be common sense, the issues
must be commonly taught and commonly practiced. Unfortunately,
ergonomics and injury prevention are not commonly taught or
practiced; as a result, your employees, whether in the office
setting or in an industrial setting, are susceptible to repetitive
motion injuries simply as a result of the nature of the work that
they perform.
This teleconference will provide you with a basic understanding of
the theory of ergonomics and what the five most common workplace
risk factors is that impact all jobs. Awareness of early signs and
symptoms, and how to encourage early reporting is essential in an
effective ergonomics process that works to prevent the onset of
injuries leading to workers' compensation claims and rising costs.
The teleconference also explains the benefits of using an ergonomics
process to prevent injuries and the multiple strategies available to
launch your ergonomics process to effectively drive down claims and
costs. From engaging upper management and employees, to holding
supervisors and employees accountable, to educating and training
your work force and enhancing the workplace environment through the
implementation of ergonomic furniture and accessories.
This
teleconference will also provide a fundamental overview of why you
should request an ergonomic analysis as an essential tool in
managing medical-only and indemnity workers' compensation claims,
what to expect from an ergonomic work site analysis, who should
deliver the service and your responsibility in implementing the
recommended strategies.
