Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention and Management Process

We asked the KYEL Group to help us implement an injury prevention and management process in 2005.  The effects have been overwhelming!  Our recordable incident rate (RIR) decreased from 3.68 in 2004 to an overall RIR of 1.71 for 2005.  We have no doubts that this process had a large part to do with that significant reduction.  Not to mention, their staff is always willing to help us in any way they can.

A few lost work days from an injury may not seem like much to most people.  But the potential and real financial costs associated with lost time and injury claims can be staggering.  The U. S. Department of Labor claims that workplace injuries cost industry between $13 and $20 million a year. 

Implementing Injury Prevention and Management programs and services immediately reduces indemnity payments and case reserves of a claim.

With lower claims costs, the loss ratio of their business is lowered, making our customers more attractive to the insurance marketplace.

Our work injury program will help you get a handle on these real problems by resolving them quickly and without lost work time in most cases.

Our musculoskeletal Injury Prevention and Management Process is a new concept in creating a workforce that takes control of their health and work/home habits.  This comprehensive initiative puts the power in your hands to improve your bottom line by empowering your employees through onsite, personal evaluation, treatment, training and follow-up.

It has been estimated that the "people portion" of the burden rate at most companies represents over 75% of their expenses.  Doesn't it make sense to assure these costs are minimized?

Our comprehensive, hands-on injury prevention programs improve employee health, boost the quality of work and improve the bottom line.  We encourage and enable employees to report aches and pains early so they remain easily treatable, non recordable and so they don't progress to a full blown injury, thus saving money.

• We provide instant feedback (Job Coaching) regarding risk factors and related work method changes for the health of the employee.

• We provide a written/pictorial representation of the health treatment program.

We will also help you with that hard to return to work employee, constructing a program that transitions that person back to work smoothly and with less cost to you the employer.  The employee is able to realize their fullest potential while overcoming that "outsider" feeling, by being transitioned to a productive part of the team.  Transitional Programs
