Healthy Workplace

Work Smart. Work Fit. Work Safe.

Workers’ compensation costs are crippling California businesses, and annual costs have skyrocketed.

The cost of having employees is high, and the cost only grows when an employee becomes injured. The Healthy Workplace is designed to save your business money.

The Healthy Workplace now includes our Early Intervention Program (EIP), which can prevent injuries or reduce the magnitude of accidents and injuries that do occur; On-Site Ergonomic Evaluations, which are job site evaluations by a trained therapist that are designed to maximize productivity while reducing or eliminating worker fatigue; Job Placement Assessments (JPA), which accurately determine whether new hires are capable of safely performing physical tasks of the job; and Safety Meetings, which are required for the education of employees and managers in many workplaces and will fulfill OSHA safety training requirements. These programs work together to help you reduce workers’ comp claims and to have a “Healthy Workplace.”
