Injury Prevention / Wellness
Programs to assist employers in reducing Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD’s) in their workforce.
HEALTH RISK ASSESSMENT
Employees who participate in our specialized health risk assessment (HRA) learn about risky behaviors that may impair their quality of life. The HRA begins with screenings for blood pressure, cholesterol and other health indicators. Next, using the results of these screenings, a brief appraisal takes your staff through a series of questions designed to evaluate current health, health history and potential health risks.
Each person’s report is strictly confidential. However, the Workplace Health Program has access to aggregate HRA data that is used to provide a profile of your organization’s overall health. This summary can be combined with your claims review information to become a powerful tool for determining the scope of your employee wellness program. When the HRA is combined with follow-up services — such as screenings or educational initiatives —you’ll have measurable results that can help individuals change at-risk behaviors and improve their quality of life.
CTD PREVENTION EXERCISES
A one hour presentation designed to empower employees to participate in their own safety & health. Provided by a medical professional, special emphasis is placed on the kinds of exercises that employees can do while working, on breaks, and at home to reduce their likelihood of developing preventable problems.
BODY MECHANICS (BACK SCHOOL)
A one to two hour presentation provided by a medical professional that permits employees to make the best decisions possible when using their existing workstation and equipment. Unlike traditional training that focuses on the “right” way to lift, this interactive live training teaches employees the problem solving skills required to make any activity less demanding. This real world approach employees are instructed in flexible principles that can be applied in any environment whether at work or at home. This entertaining session supplies not only the required information, but also motivates participants to use the knowledge gained to protect themselves and increase productivity.
