More than 50% of all WSIB claims are from strains and sprains.
The cost to the WSIB - and to the employers that fund the
rehabilitation and accommodations - are reaching unmanageable
levels.
Current and pending workplace
legislation requires companies to make job tasks and equipment
ergonomically sound. Companies that experience injuries must
be able to demonstrate that the tasks and equipment were suited
to the needs and capabilities of the workers assigned to do
the work. We can assist you in meeting the legislation and
your own specific requirements by:
- Reviewing the ergonomic factors associated
with all jobs,
- Rating the overall effectiveness of your
ergonomic program,
- Providing a summary of your costs for
back and repetitive strain injuries,
- Conducting a loss source analysis on
injury data related to back and repetitive strain injuries,
- Identifying and prioritizing an action
plan for the jobs with high back or repetitive strain injury
costs or frequency.
