Are your employees safe at their workstations?

Probably not! Poor ergonomics is a primary contributor to pain leading to workplace injuries. The average cost of a repetitive motion injury (RMI) or cumulative trauma injury is $40,000 per case, according to the California Department of Industrial Relations!

Work injuries due to repetitive motion are highly preventable. Most employees aren’t aware of ergonomic risk factors that can lead to injury and never learned how to set up their workstation correctly. To reduce organizational risk, they need to know how to work safely with the equipment you provide them. It’s not intuitive to understand how to adjust a chair or workstation.

You can’t hold your employees accountable for the things they don’t know. Train your supervisors and managers, new hires, remote workers, and even your facilities, purchasing, and IT staff in ergonomics - the most important safety training they need for injury avoidance at work.
