Reprints
Liberty Mutual Holding Co. Inc. released an app to help policyholders protect workers from the most expensive workplace injuries, the Boston-based insurer announced Tuesday.
The ErgoValuator app, created in partnership with Kinetica Labs Inc., can determine the potential for tasks to cause overexertion injuries, which cost employers more than $14 billion annually.
By using a video of a worker performing a task and answering a few questions about the job, the app can determine the likelihood of the task injuring the worker. This enables employers to adjust the task and reevaluate the process to confirm that it can be performed safely.
