Why will some organizations try "anything" to reduce strains and sprains? They're expensive, pervasive, frustrating and hurt your safety record and performance.
Unfortunately, many companies learn to their disappointment that there are no easy answers to "solving" persistent strains and sprains problems. Interventions such as ergonomic design, back schools, and simplistic body motion approaches have helped. But too often they go after the low-hanging fruit, only reducing injuries to a certain point or for a short time.
