What is Onsite Injury Prevention?
Onsite Injury Prevention is a proactive service that responds to the first signs of discomfort or pain in the workplace, thus reducing costly workers’ compensation claims and OSHA recordable injuries. Our specialists are embedded onsite to guide your employees towards safer work practices and healthier outcomes. By encouraging prompt reporting of symptoms such as pain, cramps, stiffness, and minor strains, our OSHA-approved first aid interventions are swiftly implemented.
How It Works:
-
Our Injury Prevention Specialists (IPS) (a licensed PT, OT, or AT), evaluates and collaborates with employees to address reported symptoms. This involves observing and guiding employees on-site to correct underlying causes of discomfort, aided by personalized job coaching.
-
Employees receive training on safe body mechanics, posture, and work techniques, along with potential soft tissue massage and preventive exercises to alleviate symptoms.
-
A job assessment is performed to examine task demands and ergonomics, leading to recommendations for technique adjustment, OSHA-approved first aid, ergonomic enhancements, or education. Follow-up assessments occur weekly or bi-weekly to track progress and prevent minor issues from escalating.
- IPS Interventions encompass OSHA First Aid: Leveraging Orthopedic Assessments, Thermal agents (Ice or Heat), Non-prescription Medications, Educational Sessions, Stretching and Strengthening Exercises, Soft Tissue Massage, Job Analysis, Ergonomic Suggestions, and Professional Coaching.
