Our plant recently completed 330 consecutive days without an OSHA recordable incident — a number nothing short of miraculous. In ten years our Medical Incident Rate (MIR) has fallen from double digits to less than one. ErgoPlus was one of the main components in our journey to world class safety.

The biggest benefit is over the last seven years, our medical incident rate has decreased by 80%. We used to be fairly high. Now our medical incident rate is what they would consider world-class, and I believe the ergonomic initiatives that we’ve brought in with ErgoPlus have had the biggest impact on that.

Our ErgoPlus consultant has established a great rapport with our union shop employees. In addition to addressing individual ergonomic work concerns, he has the confidence of our employees, that they seek him out for non-work related concerns also. The performance of our consultant (Mark) has been nothing less than professionalism at its best.

 — Tom Doty, Safety Manager
 

Our ErgoPlus consultant (Jill) has done an absolutely amazing job. To give some perspective, I’ve been here 7.5 years and last year was the first time I’ve witnessed the top “type of injury” experienced NOT be sprain/strain related. In fact, our results were historic in that we incurred the lowest number of recordable injuries in Pelco’s 25 year history.

— Layne Soares, Safety Manager
 

I cannot say enough about how well the consultant worked with our people on the shop floor. It has been the absolute key issue in the success of our prevention and ergonomics program. For the first time, our employees really believed that someone was trying to help them prevent unnecessary physical fatigue and stress.

Tara has proven to be an exceptional resource for our safety team here in the Seneca, SC Plant of Schneider Electric. Her attention to detail and willingness to assist our associates but also to serve as an active SH&E Team Member having full control and leadership of our in-house ergonomics team. Tara continues to set the standards for ergonomics professionals and best practices within our organization. She has been key to our injury prevention program and the data shows that when Tara was involved with our team, our injuries did decrease and continue to remain low.
