Prevent Injuries. Minimize Risk. Maximize Performance. Musculoskeletal injuries remain the leading cause of workers’ compensation claims and lost‑time incidents in the construction industry. Many start as minor aches or overuse issues but can escalate into costly claims, extended downtime, and workforce disruption if not addressed early.
Led by specialists from BayCare Clinic Orthopedics & Sports Medicine, this session equips construction leaders with practical, actionable strategies for injury prevention, early intervention, and workers’ compensation best practices — all aimed at keeping crews healthy, productive, and on the job.
Attendees will gain:
- A clear understanding of the most common construction‑related injuries
- Insight into early warning signs to prevent small issues from becoming claims
- Practical injury‑prevention strategies tailored to the construction environment
- Clarity on what an effective workers’ compensation process looks like
- Tools to reduce downtime and support faster, safer return‑to‑work
In addition, attendees will hear from industry peers from J.F. Ahern on their "one truck" analogy to illustrate how workers should care for their bodies with the same attention they would give to a vehicle they rely on for life. It highlights the significant impact of soft‑tissue injuries at Ahern and explains why proper maintenance, mindful usage, and early intervention are essential for long‑term health and career longevity.
This event is designed for construction business owners, project managers, safety directors, HR professionals, field supervisors, foremen, and team leaders who play a role in workforce safety, injury prevention, and workers’ compensation management. Anyone responsible for keeping crews healthy, productive, and on schedule will gain practical insights and tools to strengthen their approach.
