White Paper Summary

Musculoskeletal disorders remain one of the most significant occupational health challenges facing American businesses. These injuries — from back strains to repetitive stress conditions — don’t just impact workers; they create substantial financial consequences for employers through medical costs, lost productivity, and workforce disruption. Yet many organizations struggle to identify ergonomic risks before they manifest as actual injuries.

For decades, ergonomic assessments have relied primarily on in-person expert evaluation, a resource-intensive approach that may not be feasible for companies with limited safety budgets or those operating across multiple locations. As workplace safety leaders search for more accessible, data-driven methods to evaluate job tasks and implement preventive measures, new technologies are emerging to bridge this gap.

“Our mission is to help our customers thrive as businesses,” said Dan Campany, Head of Risk Services at The Hartford. “While risk transfer and insurance is an important financial backstop and safety net, we’re going to help prevent bad things from happening whenever possible by working with the customer.”
