Injury Prevention
Prevention is far better than cure. AEP’s injury prevention program is used to evaluate the working environment of your organisation. With safety and productivity in mind, our team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and exercise physiologists can make your organisation work at its full potential.
Expected outcomes from AEP’s injury prevention program include:
- Increased productivity
- Reduced lost work time
- Increased work safety
Prior to commencing with an injury prevention program it is vitally important to evaluate all aspects of your organisation.
AEP will analyse the worksite to determine:
- High risk departments
- Occurrence of repetitive injuries
- Whether work site or tasks require modification
Injury prevention programs are tailored to specific company requirements and are an ongoing maintenance service for injured workers. These services are currently in operation with some large organisations in Adelaide and are proving to be very effective at returning injured workers back to work, keeping them at work and in doing so reducing WorkCover claims and costs.
An injury prevention program operated by AEP for the South Australian Ambulance Service was a finalist in the 2007 WorkCover awards for South Australia.
These programs are specialised services and as a result need to be discussed and designed on an individual company basis.
