The 3E Process to Eliminating Musculoskeletal Injuries

The 3E Process—a systematic combination of Engineering, Ergonomics, and Exercise principles—can be used by safety professionals to achieve a “net positive” effect on preventing workplace injuries through practical engineering enhancements, mitigating at-risk behavior, and improving employees’ physiological preparation and conditioning. Through the lens of this proactive thought process, we will take a closer look at specific job tasks in order to:

1. Identify critical risk factors for soft tissue injury
2. Determine optimal 3E solutions to proactively and comprehensively mitigate physical demands in the workplace
3. Learn how to implement these best practices in the workplace setting to maximize injury prevention outcomes and enhance Total Worker Health
