As an integral part of our program, EMP Sensor & Scanner Technology has both an immediate impact on workers' task performance, and simultaneously provides data to objectively identify risk trends and measure changes across an organisation.
Our experience and capabilities in clinical, technical and program design disciplines enables us to collect and analyse objective data from multiple technologies, and combine this information to inform our Injury Prevention and Injury Management Programs produce actions and initiatives that reduce injuries.
EMP Onsite utilises the Sensor and Scanner Technology across every phase of our process. In the scoping and design phases we use the technology in our diagnostic and conduct sample tests across different job roles and worker demographics. This informs the site risk profile which we use to design each program and enables us to build an accurate indicative profile of movement, body tress, performance and injury risk that we can compare to our benchmarking data.
In the implementation phase we utilise sensor technology in the delivery of manual handling observations and coaching and we use scanner technology to complete functional movement assessments. Individuals are monitored and measured using the technology depending on their risk profile and individual requirements. For example a regular worker would receive a quarterly scanner review to track their progress where an injured worker may receive weekly assessments as part of their intensive return to work program.
In the instance of Injury Management and Return to Work Programs, the technology enables EMP Onsite to measure the exact range of movement for an individual and match them to a suitable role or modify their role to enable them to re-join the workforce. In parallel, the technology is used to design a specific injury management program and monitor the progress of the individual through the return to work process.
If the worker is injured following their initial test then the data is available to measure the exact extent of their injury compared to their original movement profile. In addition to providing valuable data in the design of their return to work program, the data is also useful in managing and mitigating Workers Compensation claims.
