Inova Occupational Health is as committed to preventing injury and illness as it is to restoring health.
Workplace Safety
Every dollar you spend on the direct cost of a workplace injury incurs additional indirect costs:
- Reduced productivity and morale
- Expenses associated with hiring and training
- Equipment repair or replacement
- Missed revenue opportunities
- Increased workers' compensation premiums
While it may not be possible to prevent every on-the-job accident, a proactive approach can help. Tap your workers for safety improvement ideas. Take their suggestions and concerns seriously. Put feasible plans into practice. Follow up. And always treat a "near miss" as a warning to reevaluate safety measures and take steps to prevent a recurrence. Inova Occupational Health offers a variety of preventive programs for your workplace:
- Pre placement physicals structured for specific jobs
- Surveillance and worksite screening
- Jobsite analysis incorporating work conditions into job descriptions
- Injury prevention education
