Enhancing Workplace Health and Productivity through Ergonomic Solutions
MSDs are a leading cause of workplace injuries across various industries, resulting in significant financial implications:
Employees in these roles often experience MSDs due to prolonged periods of sitting and repetitive motions. The average cost per medically consulted injury in 2022 was $40,000.
Construction workers are particularly susceptible to overexertion injuries. A study in Ohio found that workers aged 35–44 years experienced the highest claim rate of 63 per 10,000 full-time employees for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) from overexertion.
MSDs are prevalent among manufacturing workers, with the
shoulder being the most frequently injured and costliest body part. The median total cost of work-related MSD claims was $20,097.
These injuries are among the most expensive for employers. For instance, rotator cuff surgeries can cost between $8,400 and $56,200, depending on the severity.
