National Safety Council's Work to Zero Program Publishes Case Study with M?kuSafe Wearable Tech

MakuSafe Stand: 4/L14

According to the National Safety Council, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common workplace injury, affecting nearly one quarter of the global population. They often result from workplace tasks that involve actions like repetitive movements, awkward or static postures, and forceful exertions. The following case study focused on reducing injuries and better understanding leading indicators of MSDs.

Impact of Wearable Tech
The client piloted 120 MākuSafe wearables across three locations, primarily focused on workers performing material-handling tasks (e.g. loading and unloading). Data insights provided by MākuSafe, combined with customized lifting training and behavior-based safety tactics, have allowed safety leaders to successfully offer support and coaching to at-risk employees. In fact, quarterly injury results found a 74% reduction in injuries at the pilot sites. Culturally, employee survey results show that safety is in the top quartile in terms of favorability, further exemplified by the workers’ willingness to utilize the units voluntarily.
