Ergonomists and early intervention specialists each bring a different skill set and solution matrix to combat musculoskeletal disorders. However, each discipline often approaches corrective strategies in a vacuum, failing to recognize the benefits the other party offers. Combining approaches allows for optimal resolution of ergonomic stressors while providing care for workers in discomfort, preventing escalation of small problems into full-blown, costly claims. Mr. DeWeese and Mr. Pike will share the tangible results that Nitto, Inc., achieved with this unique approach.
