I currently work for a company that requires managers to create action items for how we are going to reduce/eliminate a given injury in the future. Unfortunately, the company safety team is significantly behind on pain science and injury prevention, so ergonomics, “proper” bending and body mechanics, stretching, kneading and rolling, ice and heat, etc. are their solutions for treating and preventing injuries. Most of the injuries occur with new hires, which is more of an acclimation issue than a movement issue. As someone who knows what they are doing is BS, I feel stuck on how to implement change based on the evidence. Some interventions I have considered would involve new hires having the option for an extra day off to recover (over the course of 5 weeks or so), a type of wellness survey that is completed daily to help identify associates who may be at risk for an injury, or an extra break period to allow for intra-day recover. I am interested to see if you would have any other interventions that could apply at the group level since the individual level is too costly. Also, I have multiple research papers on why stretching does not reduce injury risk, but any suggested papers that debunk ergonomic interventions and “proper” body mechanics would be a significant help. Thanks.
