What you will learn

This course introduces the full spectrum of the work injury prevention and work injury management system DSI Work Solutions has developed. It also explains the progression that ties the system together so you can apply it in real workflows.

By the end of the course, you should be able to explain the core JFM components and how they work together to help reduce injury risk, disability risk, and related cost.

  • Clearer communication across in-house teams and medical and insurance partners when restricted duty needs to be managed
  • Stronger ergonomics initiatives by linking essential functions to validated physical demands
  • ROI-focused cost reduction through consistent methods that reduce injury and disability cost severity
  • Fairness and morale by implementing transparent, objective standards
  • Lower turnover risk by using accurate physical demands information in the hiring process
  • Community learning through access to DSI’s network of experts and shared resources
