Transform Your Workplace: Empower Safety, Drive Success!
Combat musculoskeletal injuries and elevate your business with our targeted Job Function Matching System for a safer, thriving workplace.
What is the most common cause of workplace injuries?
The most common cause of workplace injuries has been lifting, pushing, pulling, or bending. These activities caused 24% of work-related injuries in 2021-22. The effects of these injuries are musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains, strains, or dislocations which make up 29% of all work-related injuries.
The Job Function Matching System plays a crucial role in preventing the most common workplace injuries by helping businesses effectively analyze, document, design, and deliver tailored Job Function Tests, ensuring that employees are matched with tasks that suit their physical capabilities.
The Link Between Safety & Success
Ensuring the well-being of employees is a top priority for every responsible business. A safe work environment leads to higher productivity, improved employee morale, and lower absenteeism. By prioritizing safety, businesses can reduce the risk of injuries, particularly musculoskeletal injuries like sprains, strains, and dislocations, which are among the most common workplace injuries.
Over the past 15 years, the incidence of workplace injuries, including musculoskeletal injuries, has decreased thanks to the implementation of better safety measures and regulations. Despite these improvements, accidents can still occur and result in significant costs for businesses in terms of medical expenses and lost productivity.
Workplace injuries not only impact employee morale but also lead to increased absenteeism and decreased profits. By focusing on preventing these injuries, businesses can create a safer and more productive work environment for all employees.

Our approach to Safety
Job Function Matching reduces work injuries, and facilitates a safer workplace
Job Function Matching aligns the physical requirements of job functions with the capabilities of employees. This approach leads to several key benefits:
• Injury Prevention: The JFMS effectively reduces work-related injuries, especially strains and sprains, by matching employees with suitable job functions. This promotes a safer workplace and protects employees from musculoskeletal injuries.
• Cost Savings: Minimizing workplace injuries, particularly musculoskeletal ones, with JFMS leads to savings on workers’ compensation costs, medical expenses, and indirect costs like lost productivity, absenteeism, overtime, and employee replacement and training.
• Improved Hiring: The JFMS creates precise job function descriptions that guide hiring decisions and provide candidates with a clear understanding of the role’s physical demands, leading to better hiring outcomes and reduced turnover.
• Enhanced Training & Return-to-Work: The JFMS offers a framework for designing targeted training programs and supports safe return-to-work placements for injured employees, reducing further injury risks.
• Increased Productivity: The JFMS matches employees with roles fitting their physical abilities, fostering a more efficient and productive workforce, and contributing to the company’s overall success.
