Preventing Sprain, Strains, OSHA Recordables, and Medical Spend with Rural, Remote, and Distributed Workforces
If you’re involved in safety, work in a physically demanding industry, have a rural, remote, or geographically distributed workforce, and routinely sigh at how local providers manage minor injuries – this one is for you.
You know the same things we do – sprains and strains make up about 40% of injuries and lead to a litany of unnecessary healthcare, administrative, and operational costs, not to mention OSHA Recordables, lost time, etc. Our goal is to help employers change their destiny by shifting their approach to the prevention and management of ever-present minor aches and pains, such as low back pain and sore shoulders and necks. We use many of the same tools; we just use them in a way that most don’t (or won’t).
