Safety and Ergonomics

 

"Of the reported 1.5 million workplace related injuries per year, about half are directly attributed to ergonomic related injuries..."
U.S. Department of Labor
"The costs of ergonomic related injuries and their related impacts to U.S. businesses are estimated to exceed $120 billion per year."
National Safety Council

"For every $1 of direct injury cost, businesses face between $2 and $5 of indirect business costs in recovery.”
Liberty Mutual Insurance Institute
“95% of business executives report that workplace safety initiatives have a positive impact on a company’s financial performance. 61% indicated their companies received $3 or more for each $1 spent improving work place safety.”
The Safety Index Survey

 

Injuries due to overexertion and repetitive stress impose heavy costs on companies and their employees, including medical expenses, workers compensation premiums, lost time, retraining, rehabilitation, low morale, and more. These costs are pure waste, and every business would eliminate them if they had an effective solution.

Our technology can often reduce injuries to zero for tasks involving use of tools and maneuvering parts. zeroG can also:

  • Help injured workers return to work faster
  • Reduce or eliminate the need for microbreaks, shifting of employees among tasks, and other inefficient practices
  • Allow a wider range of employees (such as older or smaller workers) to perform tasks safely
  • Be used to accommodate duty-restricted or disabled workers

zeroG has twice been awarded the Attendees Choice Award at the National Ergonomics Conference, given to products that offer the best opportunity to reduce injuries and increase productivity.
