In response to a 2021 study made by workers' compensation claims, Selective Insurance has introduced a new ergonomic safety solution from TuMeke to tackle workplace-related injuries. According to this study, strain-related injuries were the most common type of compensation claims in the construction, manufacturing, and wholesale segments, and reported 18% earlier in employees' tenure than in 2011. In an effort to reduce musculoskeletal pain and disorder risks, Selective's ergonomic safety solution uses AI-powered software to review footage and build 3D models of employees while maintaining privacy.
Selective policyholders can use a smartphone to record consenting employees completing a task. TuMeke's AI software will review the footage to build detailed 3D models of the human body moving through space to complete industry-standard assessments that identify high-risk body positions and motions. At the end of the process, policyholders receive a report with findings and suggestions to reduce the risk of workplace-related injuries. This unique approach promotes workplace wellness and safety by spotting potentially hazardous behaviors and reducing them, especially in labor-intensive industries such as construction and manufacturing.
The ergonomic safety solution from TuMeke offers several benefits for policyholders, their employees, and their bottom line. By identifying and addressing high-risk body positions and motions, policyholders can reduce the risk of workplace-related injuries and improve employee wellness. This, in turn, can lead to improved productivity, reduced workers' compensation claims, and lower injury-related costs.
Selective Insurance's AI-powered ergonomic safety solution from TuMeke is a proactive and innovative approach to workplace safety and wellness. By using this solution, policyholders can protect their employees, lower costs, and promote a culture of safety and wellness in the workplace.
