How to lower your workers
Measure, manage and monitor the risk.
Poor musculo-skeletal health is a significant cost to all workplaces. On one level it contributes to constant discomfort of individual employees. On another level it is a most significant contributor to workers compensation claims.
Measure, manage and monitor the risk.

The Musculo-skeletal Health Seminar is designed to
|
|
help your staff identify the cause of their personally-generated musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and learn the exercises they need to do to restore poor function to good – or stop the dysfunction from happening in the first place. |
|
|
|
|
|
provide you with the tools to measure, manage and monitor the risk your organisation is carrying of staff with personally-generated musculo-skeletal dysfunction(s). |
Once your staff have completed this Musculo-skeletal Health Seminar they’ll willingly participate in a daily 10 minutes of strength and flexibility exercise program.
During the seminar staff complete a Specific Joint Assessment Profile and the 10 point Musculo-skeletal Risk Screen. From these results you’ll have a good idea of what the risk to the organisation is and what to do to manage it.
From the results you’ll be able work out what to do to erect a firewall between the personally generated musculo-skeletal dysfunctions and the genuine work-related injuries.
THE OBLIGATION
This is a program for all staff – the risk is too high to let people pick and chose whether they want to attend.
We recommend staff to do it in sections so managers and supervisors can get a feel for the enormity of the problem and shoulder some of the responsibility for managing it.
SESSIONS
We can conduct 4 sessions per day – starting at 7.00 am. Each session takes 2 hours.
If the area is large enough we can handle 20 – 25 people at a time.
AUDIT REPORT
We take people through the 10 point Musculo-skeletal Risk Screen so they can get an idea of how weak and tight they are.
We provide organisations with an audit report generated by our health information management system, that includes individual scores. With this information you’ll be able to better manage the risk of those people in poor musculo-skeletal health and those at grave risk to the organisation’s workers compensation arrangements.
If the seminars are rolled out section by section, the audit report can be used as a management tool to not only lower the risk of musculo-skeletal dysfunction but also provide information on general health, fitness and wellbeing and OH&S management in general.
THE ONGOING PROGRAM
Based on our experience, participants will willingly agree to take part in a 10 minute stretching and strengthening session each day.
However, this will only happen if managers and supervisors are given a key performance indicator (KPI) to drive the program. Ideally they will want to demonstrate that after 6 months their staff are stronger, more flexible and less pained that they were when the program first started.
Rewards and incentives can be built into the program.
Participants in pain and at grave risk will willingly agree to take part in several more intensive sessions each week.
Daily exercise programs can be conducted by staff 'champions' (particularly staff with a fitness qualification), with supervisors and managers providing general oversight. More intensive sessions in the workplace can be managed by staff trained and accredited by Integrated Health Systems.
EBOOK DOWNLOAD
For a modest investment participants will have download access to the complete Global Back Care set of ebooks.
THE INVESTMENT
This program is an investment in, not a cost to your business.
The aim of the program is to reduce your worker’s compensation costs of musculo-skeletal dysfunction by 80%. In essence you’re investing a small amount of money up front to save the high cost of worker’s compensation arrangements further down the track. (How would you like to be on the receiving end of a payout of $500,000 when someone hurt their back while lifting a box of files out of the boot of their car at home?)
