As the year draws to a close, the DORN team reflects on a transformative 2023, marked by groundbreaking injury prevention solutions and an expanded reach across diverse organizations. A major achievement this year has been the development of a comprehensive workplace safety framework, seamlessly integrating the NIOSH Total Worker Health® approach. This five-pronged strategy encompasses:
- Injury prevention: Risk assessments, ergonomic solutions, training, case management
- Early symptom intervention: Manual pain relief therapies, ergonomic risk evaluations, fit-for-work programs
- Return-to-work: Pain management, work hardening, strength and mobility conditioning
- Wellness: Mental health support, self-care resources, biomechanics training, fatigue prevention and management
- Safety technology: Wearable devices, AI-based risk assessment, fatigue monitoring, desktop ergonomics software, mobile safety and wellness apps
Implementing this integrated strategy has not only saved employers substantial costs but has also improved productivity and fostered wellness both on and off the job.
