Comfort and efficiency in every level of care
Encompassing a range of services and businesses, the healthcare industry refers to workplaces such as hospitals, clinics, laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers. These workers often face a unique combination of physical, cognitive, and organizational elements that factor into their health and well-being and musculoskeletal disorders remain the most prevalent type of injury in this industry. Employers are often focused on ergonomic assessments and interventions and implementation of a multi-faceted patient handling program with the aim of injury reduction.
