Session Description:

During this session, SoCalGas will share a use case on how they are preventing and mitigating musculoskeletal injuries. The purpose of this use case is to better understand what the trends are in ergonomic data that could help identify, analyze and control workplace risk factors that reduce musculoskeletal injuries, so they can reduce costs and risks of musculoskeletal disorders and increase employee productivity and morale.

The SoCalGas Safety Management Systems department champions the “Safety First” culture in first identifying one of the most common injuries through analytics and responding accordingly by promoting various safety programs and resources that help prevent and mitigate musculoskeletal injuries.
