Why Prevention?
Over the past two decades, Ergonomics Plus clients have been getting results out of their injury prevention programs.
We’ve done an internal retrospective study of MSD cost reduction data of 17 Ergonomics Plus clients. This study averaged the MSD cost reductions for the 17 companies that participated in the study and includes the first four years an Ergonomics Plus program was implemented. Only direct medical costs were measured; other associated secondary or “hidden” costs were not included. The results of this study are outlined below.

“I cannot say enough about how well the consultant worked with our people on the shop floor. It has been the absolute key issue in the success of our prevention and ergonomics program. For the first time, our employees really believed that someone was trying to help them prevent unnecessary physical fatigue and stress.”
