Worldwide Business with Kathy Ireland
Blankenheim Services’ approach is an in-depth examination of jobs in a facility that identifies and ranks ergonomic risks by body part, and offers recommendations for mitigating risks. The data in the assessments is stored on a web-based application, ErgoFactor® which gives employers easy access to data that can assist with: ergonomic project tracking, return to work planning, preliminary causation analysis, designing safe job rotations and supporting pre-employment testing.
A Blankenheim Services therapist is on-site at a facility each week to see employees at the first sign of musculoskeletal discomfort. The issue is identified and treated in ways that do not create OSHA recordables and the employee is coached in self-management of the issue. In 96% of the cases, an employee seen in Rehab Response does not need to go to an outside medical provider.
With an on-site Blankenheim Services therapist, if an employee sees a doctor and receives orders for physical therapy it can be provided right at the on-site clinic. This allows employers to gain control over worker’s compensation costs while providing their employees with immediate access to professional care.
Proper communication with all internal and external stakeholders is a key part of effectively managing an injury and can be the most important step in reducing claims and controlling costs. Blankenheim Services’ Case Facilitation services can: assist the company in being proactive in case management, work with the outside medical community by providing pertinent job information when they see an employee, facilitate effective return-to-work approaches, assist in using productive work to help facilitate recovery.
Blankenheim Services’ POPE testing model is designed to ensure all new hires are placed into positions they can adequately perform without injuring themselves or others. This proactive approach has resulted in reduced OSHA recordable injuries, turnover rate, training costs, administrative time, and associated costs for employers. In one year, Blankenheim Services performed over 1,100 tests for a client, with only one OSHA recordable developing within the first year of hire.
Blankenheim Services has developed the Meta-Posture™ program as an efficient model to prevent musculoskeletal discomfort. The program consists of eight postures developed to prepare workers for a wide variety of physical tasks. Blankenheim Services’ program is unique compared to typical stretch programs because of the full-body features of each posture and because each posture includes aspects that strengthen the antagonist and accessory muscles, lengthen the agonists and foster proper joint and nerve health. In a pilot study, 78% of employees improved their lifting mechanics, fewer musculoskeletal complaints were reported and employees reported feeling more energized, having better posture and more flexibility.
Blankenheim Services developed the Remote Rehab Response program to assist employees at the first sign of musculoskeletal or soft tissue discomfort. A first-aid and therapy trained expert will help triage the issue, and offer advice and education to the employee for self-care via a telephone conference or video chat. This preventative program is meant to increase access to expert care early-on, thereby improving outcomes for employees and reducing costs for employers.
