Reducing workers' injuries through ergonomics, fitness, education, and training.
Welcome to www.ErgoFit101.com.
Ergo = Work. Fit = Fitness. 101 = Education.
Physically fit employees in an ergonomic environment saves workers' comp costs and minimizes claims.
The services offered have assisted the Gainesville Fire & Rescue Department in reducing back injuries by 200 to 300% over a five year span (2001-06).
Workers' comp claims were reduced at the City of Gainesville by 20% and by over $300,000 in the first year (2004-05).
It takes a team to achieve these accomplishments. Teamwork starts with the employee. The employer, along with safety, workers comp loss prevention & the adjuster, must value the employee and care about reducing injury. Physicians and nurses must be willing to go the extra mile for their pt's. An astute AT, PT, OT, LMT and/or chiropractor is necessary to prevent and care for the employee's injuries.
