SafetyWorks!

Dear Employer,

Ergonomic related injuries is leading cause of employee injury with lost time. We still have space available in our Preventing Musculoskeletal Injuries class:

Preventing Musculoskeletal Injuries – September 23, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

SafetyWorks! Training Institute, 45 Commerce Drive, Augusta

Musculoskeletal (MSK) injuries can be a challenge to recognize as they often come on gradually from repetitive use. Other times these injuries are related to sprain or strain. In any event, MSKs make up the most injuries we see in the workplace. In this session you will learn: The importance of matching employee fitness to the essential physical demands of a job, evaluate a job looking to prevent MSK risks, how to successfully develop and implement a custom workplace stretching and strengthening program that improves flexibility and reduces strain and strain severity and incidence, to properly respond to employees' early symptoms and provide effective first aid intervention that alleviates fear, prevents a disability mindset, and promotes recovery.
