Well, just got back from our mandatory ergonomic training. 35% of our at work injuries are ergonomically related and cost $500K a year on time off and workman's comp. The national average is 33% and $250K. They stated according to national statistics it takes $16M in sales to cover the total loses from those injuries.

If we make it a whole month without any injuries we each get a company branded Yeti thermal mug.

If my understanding of the human body and strength training is correct, they are implementing practices that are going to cause a lot of injuries in the future due to relying on restricted motion. They now call it natural positions. The second someone gets outside that natural position their body will be unprepared and get injured. I like the Chinese philosophy where workers did exercises before every shift so they were fit and less prone to injury.
