Injury Prevention Partners

Why Use IPP

Improve Performance and Productivity

It is critically important for any business organization to protect the health and productivity of its workforce. An effective injury prevention program not only reduces injuries, but reduces lost-time, minimizes errors, increases productivity, and improves job satisfaction and employee loyalty as well.

Reduce Costs

Established research indicates that approximately 70 - 75% of all workers' compensation costs in most industries are related to MSD's. Furthermore, the costs associated with these injuries continue to rise at an alarming rate with indirect costs ranging from 3 to 5 times that of the direct medical costs.

Programs That Work

The most logical approach to this problem, obviously, is to prevent the injury from occurring in the first place! However, this is often easier said than done, For years Safety Managers, and others charged with the responsibility for reducing the incidence of these injuries have expressed their frustration at finding a viable solution.

Injury Prevention Partners have developed powerful programs that provide that solution.

Keys To Successful Training

In order for employee training to be successful at reducing injuries, the training must provide all of the following elements

Improve technique – poor technique or “biomechanics” significantly increases physical stress to the body. Proper technique is an essential habit.
Promote Stretching – regular stretching relieves stress, helps the body to heal and stay resilient to repetitive stresses, and avoid cumulative traumas.
Motivate Individuals – training precepts are only valuable if they are applied. Employees must be motivated to adopt better habits.
Practical Application – all aspects of the training must be relevant to the employee and the job task, and recommended practices must be practical and have a positive impact on productivity.
Management Support- the value of the program must be promoted from the top down.
Sustainability- the training should be part of an on-going safety culture.

IPP’s Smart Body Management programs provide all of the above elements in a thoroughly customized, comprehensive, on-site training.
