Background
With the proliferation
of personal computer usage throughout every aspect of knowledge worker
enterprises, businesses are experiencing increased healthcare
costs due to computer injuries. Repetitive Stress Injuries
(RSI) affect people in all knowledge worker environments,
including administrators, engineers, call center personnel,
data entry staff, and more. The documented cost
to business and individuals is staggering and there
is growing worldwide attention on finding ways of promoting
good computing habits and reducing RSI related costs.
Scientific research has shown
that taking brief micro-breaks – lasting a minute or two
and strategically placed during the day – can
substantially reduce employee risk of developing RSI.

risk management as well as increasing productivity of

Value Proposition
Magnitude’s unique ergonomic tool
solutions have repeatedly proven to produce significant
value to clients. These measurable returns are of great
significance to employees, as well as employers who care
about the health of their employees, measure their
bottom line and are active in cost containment measures:
Productivity Enhancement –
Sustainable accuracy improvements have been measured at
about 60% for computer user groups at
clients. This results in a measurable full return on
investment of the ergonomic tools of about one month.
Computer-related Injury Reduction –
Substantial reductions in computer-related injuries
have been achieved along with equally dramatic
reductions of injury costs. Clients benefit from up to
80% reductions in computer-related OSHA reported
injury rates in the U.S.. The average reduction has been
50%.
Increase
Organizational e-Tools Utilization –
Many organizations have already built or purchased training tools
and an internal website (let's call these e-Tools)
where employees can go to find EH&S information and
solutions for their needs. Our clients tell us
that they've inevitably learned afterwards that the
missing element in every e-Tools equation is that
employees "have to remember" to use the training and tools.
Significant sustainable e-Tool utilization improvements
have been measured at our clients after deploying our
solutions. Employees, gently aware of our ErgoMeter™,
utilize it as a desktop portal to all of your in-house
and web-based e-Tools.
Cost Savings on Workers’ Compensation
Insurance – Reducing injuries
directly results in reducing workers’ compensation
insurance programs for employers as well as savings on
the healthcare and benefits side where many injuries are
treated in lieu of the workers' compensation system.
Compliance with Regulatory Agencies –
In the U.S., helps employers be in compliance with
California State Ergonomic Regulations. In Europe and
South America, helps employers be in compliance with a
number of governmental and regional regulations and
directives.
