FEWER INJURIES, LESS PAIN, REDUCED RISK
LESS INCIDENCE OF INURY
Research shows that screened hires are more likely to have a lower incidence of injury, lower absence rate due to injury, and lower medical costs resulting from injury
REDUCED FREQUENCY
One major study found that there were significant reductions in the frequency and severity of musculoskeletal disorder injuries in the screened employee population.
HIGH RISK FOR NON-SCREENED
Non-screened applicants were 2.38 times more likely to experience an injury specific to the knees, shoulders and back than screened employees.
