Work Place Case Studies
Stay safe and save money with Work-Site Consulting
Bob Builders had a high rate of workplace injuries. They wanted to do something about it to improve employee welfare and reduce costs to the business through sick-leave and payment of replacement staff. Bob Builders called in Remarkable Physios to present Manual Handling Courses customised for their business and delivered on site. The initial training was followed-up by short site visits at random times to reinforce correct manual handling techniques and support the employees in safe work practices. Within 6 months the injury rate had dropped by more than 25%. Employee morale improved and, for Bob Builders, the savings from fewer lost time injuries contributed to improved profits.
From Worst to Best with Work-site Consulting and a Wellness Programme
The Queenstown office of an international business had the worst safety record of any of the company’s sites worldwide. Local management were determined to turn the situation around and came to Remarkable Physios for help. Remarkable Physios provides induction training in manual handling for all new staff. On-going site visits by a physiotherapist monitor, reinforce and encourage staff to maintain safe work practices. Line managers refer staff for physiotherapy before minor niggles become serious injuries and the company pays for staff to use the Remarkable Physios gym. In just over a year, the Queenstown office had the best safety record in the company resulting in improved employee morale and seven-figure savings to the business!
