Strain Sprain Injury Prevention Programs
This document outlines a three-stage fitness-related injury prevention program: 1) The base includes validated job descriptions and physical demands assessments. Deficiencies here decrease the success of subsequent stages. 2) The second stage involves fitness testing and return-to-work evaluations. 3) The third stage focuses on injury reduction efforts, rehab plans, and maintenance of worker fitness. The goal is zero recordable injuries.
