EMPLOYEE INJURY PREVENTION PROGRAM (EIPP) FOR THE EMPLOYER

Teaching workplaces how to eliminate risks for soft tissue musculoskeletal disorders

How the EIPP works:

We start with an onsite visit to generate a comprehensive NEEDS ANALYSIS. Next, we train the management/supervisors AND the work force the SPECIFIC and CUSTOMIZED strategies for minimizing problems such as tendinitis, rotator cuff, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, low back pain, and more… reducing ‘ergonomics’ injuries and their costs.

EIPP Components:

  • Workstation Assessment
  • Task Analysis
  • Review of OSHA logs for injury trends
  • Equipment modification recommendations
  • Worker Education & Training
  • Injury Reduction Strategies
  • Management Training

Our EIPP Workstation/Task Analysis Checklist includes:

  • Identification of repetitive movements
  • Identification of sustained/awkward postures
  • Discussion of off-work activities
  • Identification of modifiable environmental factors (temperature, vibration, lighting, standing surfaces)
  • Assessment of body mechanics
  • Equipment adjustability
  • And more

Why our Employee Injury Prevention Program (EIPP) works better than a simple ergonomics program

Ergonomics (making the job or task fit the person) helps, but is not always possible, AND not all MSDs are caused by poor work design. Physical therapists are musculoskeletal experts, making these professionals the best for addressing and educating regarding sustained/awkward postures and body mechanics.

Here are some of the components of our EIPP:

  • Postural variety implementation measures
  • Microstretching (work task-specific and brief to improve tissue blood supply)
  • Work task variety/rotation
  • Start of shift warmups/end of day stretching when needed
  • Training management in work injury prevention best practices

Here’s an example of job-specific microstretch:

  • Palm up
  • Stretch wrist and fingers down toward floor
  • Hold 10 seconds
  • Repeat every 1-2 hours
  • Uses: food prep, barbering/hairstyling, keyboard use…
