WorkSTEPS for Health & Safety in the Workplace
Preventing movement disorders and fixing work related injuries before they cost the company compensation, lost time, and lost production has a significant impact on a company’s success. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average workplace injury costs about $10,000. For this reason health and safety at work takes on a high priority for most companies.
In Alhambra, CA, Yonemoto Physical Therapy Services is proud to utilize the WorkSTEPS program for functional employment testing and capacity evaluations. WorkSTEPS testing consists of two core components: evaluating and screening current and potential employees to determine their abilities to physically perform their job duties, as well as assessing employee injuries to guard against fraudlent claims.
The WorkSTEPS program offers employers six major benefits: virtual elimination of fraudulent work-related injury claims, returning injured employees back to work sooner, insuring that new and existing employees are safe performing their jobs, comparing employee test results to an expanding national database, reducing employee turnover, and most importantly, saving companies money -- up to 80% over previous year's medical costs.
The most important reason to prevent and or treat workplace injuries effectively is to save employees needless pain and suffering. By providing health and safety at work and by utilizing the WorkSTEPS program employees are responsible for doing no harm, an idea supported strongly by the Yonemoto Physical Therapy team.
