INJURY PREVENTION
Most Americans between the ages of 22 and 65 spend 40% of their waking hours at work, and more Americans are finding it necessary to stay at their jobs longer than in years past, often resulting in greater exposure to injury. One in every 23 workers sustains a work-related injury each year, and half of these cases require time off of work. The total direct and indirect costs associated with on-the-job injuries and illnesses in the US are staggering, and healthcare costs have become the #1 concern for businesses, large and small.
