The Hidden Costs of Workplace Injuries

In warehousing, logistics, distribution, manufacturing, and beyond,
musculoskeletal injuries from repetitive bending and lifting remain
a leading cause of:

  • High workers' compensation costs
  • Fatigue and lost productivity
  • Days away from work
  • Low back pain
  • Turnover

The physical work has not changed, but expectations have. Leaders are under pressure to keep operations moving, injuries down, and people showing up, all at the same time. Traditional safety approaches are still essential, but today's workforce demands more.
