Prevent Workforce Injury and Illness

To have a healthy and productive workforce, it's important to surround your employees with an environment that supports illness and injury prevention. You can’t afford to wait for your employees to get injured or ill. HealthPartners can help keep your employees productive and at work.

Between 2004-2007, an average of 15.7 million injuries were reported each year among employed persons. Half of these injuries resulted in time lost from work*. Any company can use services, but certain industries and occupations have special preventive needs. These services will be especially beneficial if you have:

• A workforce with high medical costs
• Employees with jobs that are physically and/or emotionally demanding
• An environment with potentially hazardous exposures

HealthPartners can help you prevent injury and illness with:

Work Risk Analysis and Injury Prevention Training (Ergonomic Consulting)

With a work risk analysis, we can identify the work stressors associated with common musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) by observing the three key influences—the work station, work tasks and the worker's technique. The information from the analysis provides the foundation for prevention training. Management and workers receive on-site training focusing on the aspects uniquely important to each group.
