Preventing the occurrence and recurrence of job-related injuries and illnesses is the key to reducing claims, experience modification factors, premiums and reserves. St. Luke’s Occupational Medicine provides a custom range of programs conducted by qualified professionals that can be conducted onsite or at our facilities:

It includes instruction on ergonomic techniques for lifting and supervisor training in ongoing safety awareness and proper management of any injuries that do occur.
