Benefits - Lower the Cost of Injury Claims

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, when a worker undergoes surgery for an MSD, the workers' compensation cost for the case can climb to an average of $43,000. When you consider that one-third of all workers' compensation claims are due to MSD injuries in the workplace, you can see why employers are concerned about the costs for injury claims.

Introducing an ergonomics program in your company makes good business sense. Reducing workplace injuries will lower workers' compensation and medical premiums, and it will save your company money in the long term.
