Improper biomechanics and work related musculoskeletal disorders (such as certain back injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome) are the most prevalent, most expensive, and most preventable injuries in the country.

• An average of 300,000 workers can be spared from painful work related injuries with proper biomechanics and ergonomic training. (OSHA)
• Work related injuries are the most frequently reported causes of lost or restricted work time. (www.osha.gov/SLTC/ergonomics)
• According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) in 2013 work/ergonomic related injuries accounted for 33% of all worker injury and illness cases. (www.osha.gov/SLTC/ergonomics)
