Prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders in Construction
Soter Analytics’ wearable safety devices and AI-driven training programs help to identify and prevent musculoskeletal disorders among construction workers
Construction Injuries & WMSDs
Despite significant workplace improvements targeted on musculoskeletal injury reduction in the construction industry, workers are still at high risk. According to construction injury statistics, construction workers are still facing a higher risk of incurring a WMSD than all other industries combined. Soter wearable safety devices, powered with AI-driven training programs help construction professionals improve their material handling techniques, driving down the risk of injury.
Reduce the
Risk of Injury
According to the NORA, WMSDs are responsible for at least $45-54 billion of loss in the U.S. each year. Construction workers are particularly susceptible to WMSDs as they generally spend their workdays engaging in repetitive motions, such as bending, kneeling, twisting and lifting significant loads. Over time, these motions can lead to WMSDs that may impede a worker’s ability to function optimally or even cause lasting disabilities that preclude workers from continuing their careers.
