As a Registered Occupational Therapist, with over 20 years of experience, I have a passion for the prevention of work-related injuries. As a Certified Industrial Ergonomic Evaluator, I can offer solutions to reduce injury risk.
Musculoskeletal disorders are common in the workplace and result in high workers compensation costs. Having a therapist at the jobsite to assess injuries, and utilize OSHA compliant injury prevention strategies, will result in a reduction of work-related incidents and costs. Companies with onsite therapy services average a 50-75% reduction in Work Comp Costs!
Addresses musculoskeletal symptoms early to reduce the risk of a minor symptom becoming severe. Early intervention services follow OSHA first aid standards for injury prevention and reduces the occurance of OSHA recordables.
An assessment of an employee's ability to meet the essential requirements of a job. This assessment is completed at the jobsite and is used to determine if an employee is safe to return to regular duty work after an injury or illness. Can be used to assist in determining necessary accommodations for an employee returning to work or one who has been struggling to meet job requirements.
A detailed report of a job's physical demands. Having an FJD helps identify potential work hazards and assists medical professionals in the return-to-work process. A functional job description also helps to identify ergonomic improvement opportunities and can be used as part of an ergonomics program. A functional job description can help employers ensure they are ADA compliant.
A functional test to determine if a client is able to complete the essential physical demands of a job. Can be used for post offer testing, with job transfer, or post injury to help determine if any accommodations or modifications are needed.
A risk assessment to identify low, medium, and high-risk job tasks. Having an ergonomic risk assessment can help employers identify high risk areas and develop a strategic plan to improve worker safety.
A review of office setup with recommendations on changes needed to ensure employees are able to maintain appropriate working postures. A good office setup will help to keep employees more comfortable and productive. The virtual office assessment can be used to meet the needs of work-from-home employees.
Assist the employer and communicate with the medical professional to ensure that modified work is able to be completed safely and efficiently while the employee is transitioning back to regular duty after an injury or illness. Employers that are able to accommodate work restrictions are able to get workers back to work faster and save on workers compensation costs.
Create and educate employers and employees on job-specific dynamic and static stretches that reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. Designated company leaders will be educated on the program and provided with strategies to increase employee engagement.
Professional presentations to provide employee education on a variety of topics, including body mechanics, musculoskeletal wellness, injury prevention, stress management, and general wellness. One-to-one training on body mechanics as workers are performing job tasks.
Typically used near end-of-healing, the FCE can identify job tasks the worker can/cannot perform safely, help set permanent restrictions, and determine necessary modifications for a safe return-to-work.
Onsite Therapy services can be provided on a regular weekly/monthly basis or provided on an as-needed basis. Want a short trial of services before committing to full services? NO PROBLEM! Contact me to discuss options.
