Overview
A high-tech plant building contractor in the United States partnered with us to enhance its workforce health and wellbeing, aiming to boost productivity and reduce injuries. The collaboration focused on developing and delivering two construction-specific health education programs: Mental Health Promotion and Musculoskeletal Injury Prevention. Workshops, handouts, posters, and health talks were developed by our local and global subject matter experts and delivered by our on-site Medical Personnel. The programs successfully decreased musculoskeletal injuries, improved health and safety standards and compliance, strengthened corporate reputation, and minimised medical case referrals outside of the site.
