Reduce WMSDs

At Lotwork, we are committed to promoting workplace well-being and productivity by addressing Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs). These disorders not only affect the health and comfort of employees, but also have significant cost implications for employers.


According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA), in 2010, WMSDs have become one of the most prevalent occupational health hazards in the United States. Approximately 2 million American workers suffer from work-related musculoskeletal injuries each year, resulting in around 600,000 lost workdays. Shockingly, 1 out of every 3 dollars spent on workers' compensation in the U.S. is attributed to inadequate ergonomic protections. The direct costs of WMSDs in the United States range from $15 to $20 billion annually, with the total costs reaching $45 to $54 billion.



In 2018, a significant portion of musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) cases in the private sector was attributed to retail trade, manufacturing, and healthcare and social assistance sectors, This collectively accounts for 50 percent of cases. Additionally, the transportation and warehousing industry witnessed a notable incidence rate of 77.1 MSD cases during the same year. Moreover, this industry, alongside the information sector, saw a median period away from work for MSD cases, with durations of 26 and 33 days respectively.

 

*The average prevalence rate of Work-Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (WMSDs) among manufacturing and warehouse workers in Asia is about 78.1%.

Our Ergonomic Devices are designed to mitigate the risks of WMSDs and provide a solution that reduces the likelihood of workplace injuries.

A ring scanner is a convenient wearable device that effortlessly scans barcodes and is worn on the finger like a ring. Designed to offer a hands-free solution, ring scanners enable workers to move freely and complete tasks without the constant inconvenience of picking up and putting down a handheld scanner. This results in efficient and accurate barcode scanning capability, streamlining the scanning process and enhancing overall productivity.
