Early
Intervention

Early Intervention

Instead of delivering a solution that simply reacts in a post-injury fashion, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have instilled a turn-key workplace injury prevention program that is systematically preventing injuries constantly shifting your front-line environment further upstream into a state of proactivity. Our comprehensive focus on the three leading indicators of an injury – Early Soreness, Ergonomics, and Behaviors – will ensure your program impact is predictable, measurable, and is specialized to your specifications.

Ergonomics

We understand that large capital expenditures for automations or equipment are not always a reality as a first step. While considering those as longer-term options, we also provide a range of ergonomic abatements so you can make an impact today as well as tomorrow.

Testing

Employee Testing

It is vital that your employment testing program is effective, legally defensible, and ADA and EEOC-compliant so you can avoid unnecessary costs and ensure your workforce is healthy, productive, and safe.
