FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Isn’t it expensive to make ergonomic changes within a company? Often, changes can be made to the workplace set-up without purchasing of additional equipment. Our Injury Prevention Specialist is able to identify simple, inexpensive solutions that are easily implemented to reduce the risk of injury to your workers. Can’t I just provide training through videotapes? Video tapes on topics such as lifting provide no feedback as to whether the new movements are being done correctly. Interactive sessions provided by an experienced professional allow for more individualized information to guide a trainee toward appropriate movement patterns. But don’t you just have to know that it’s important to lift with your legs? Who doesn’t know that?! There’s so much more to proper biomechanics (bending, lifting, and movement) than that. With 80% of Americans suffering a back injury sometime in their lives, we must be doing something wrong. Education in proper movement – put in simple, understandable terms – has a tremendous impact on back health. We’re just a small business – what if we can’t afford to spend a lot on injury prevention? Neither can a small company afford the lost work time, medical expense, and morale issues associated with injuries. Our programs are customized to provide the greatest amount of service in the most cost effective way. Our company has 2,000 employees. Wouldn’t it be expensive and time-consuming to train them all? WorkingWell Solutions can use a Train the Trainer approach to educate members of the team in the area of injury prevention who will in turn train other employees. This is a cost effective way to pass on information and techniques to large numbers of employees. Does WorkingWell leave behind any printed materials (handbooks, posters, etc.) for future reference? Our professional design department produces high quality materials for educational purposes and for posting within your company. The information is presented simply and in an interesting fashion to ensure that employees will read and understand the materials. Can we reduce our injury rates by hiring WorkingWell? Yes - injury prevention programs have been found to lower claims and insurance costs, and increase productivity. |
