Meeting the Need:

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) more than 1.8 million workers suffer a musculoskeletal injury every year.  At least 600,000 of these injuries result in costly lost work time.  The median number of lost days for carpal tunnel syndrome - for example - is 25, with 42% resulting in 30 or more days away. 

Musculoskeletal injury related Worker's Compensation Claims cost an average of $43,500 each.  When added, the indirect costs can have an actual bottom-line impact of up to 10 times the direct costs alone!

We will assist you in developing a process to screen for potential risks, manage current safety and health issues proactively and make the necessary changes to minimize future risk.

Results That Matter:

Achieving Safety Excellence:

With strong commitment and using our proven safety process techniques, companies average a reduction of OSHA Recordable injuries of 50% in the first year after implementation. 

We implement our process elements only after conducting a needs analysis.  Focus is given to the development of a total safety process - including training matrix and work method development.  Compliance to current regulations is the minimum - we'll take you far beyond that, establishing a better way to do business. 


Most importantly - this process is sustainable - it doesn't leave when we do.

Of course, the process impacts all potential for injuries and occupational illnesses, not just musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

Medical Management:

Yes, we can and do manage acute injury response and treatment.  The majority of benefit to your employees (and to your bottom line) however is managing musculoskeletal disorders.

Our medical management and early intervention process results in 92 - 98% of all employees experiencing a musculoskeletal disorder to effectively resolve. 

Normally, this means that no more than 8% ever go on to see a physician! 

Current clients utilizing our on-site Health Service Professionals are saving as much as $62,000 (or more) in treatment related expenses a month when conservative treatment is given on-site!  Prevention First clients have enjoyed treatment related savings historically ranging from between $500, to over $1,100 per employee on average.




Current Client Sample:

What impact does this really have? 

The chart at right shows the total 2009 savings for one of Prevention First's clients totaling over $571,289!  These dollars are the net savings (contract costs have been subtracted).  This client is saving $8 for every $1 spent!

These savings are TREATMENT SAVING'S ONLY and do not include saving's that result from injury and accident reduction!

Additionally, our expertise in Worker's Compensation claims management practices and additional service offerings such as ergonomic services reduce costs even more.
