More powerful results with TeamWorks!     After implementing our ADA compliant, post-offering testing program at a large nursing home, the facility saw more than a 50% reduction in their workers compensation costs. An automotive parts manufacturer implemented our onsite physical therapy program in 2004. By 2006 they saw their OSHA recordable injury rate decrease from 5.2 to 1.9 and their lost-time rate decrease from 2.7 to 0.55. In 2006, 145 employees sought care at the onsite clinic; of these employees, only 2 required medical care beyond the first-aid provided by our physical therapist. Total lost-time costs dropped from $490,000 to $150,000 the following year. A computer cable manufacturer implemented our onsite program and experienced a reduction in their cost per case for workers compensation claims by over 50%. After implementing our ergonomics program, a packaging manufacturer saw the number of musculoskeletal recordable injuries drop from 16 to 4 the following year.
