The Importance of Onsite Physiotherapy for Metal Ore Mines

Aging Workforce Challenges

With an older demographic becoming more common in mining, businesses will face new hurdles. Aging leads to diminishing physical capacity, prolonged recovery times, and increased risk of injury. Employ Health's interventions are tailored to support the aging workforce, ensuring they remain physically robust and informed about health-conscious decisions.

Cost Savings Through Injury Prevention

Our proactive onsite approach significantly reduces worker compensation claims, leading to lower insurance premiums. These savings can be reinvested into further enhancing worker health and fitness, leading to improved site productivity and morale.

Minimising Downtime

In the metal ore mining industry, any downtime can lead to substantial losses. Our onsite physiotherapy program aims to mitigate, if not entirely eliminate, time lost due to chronic ailments and injuries.

Building a Positive Workplace Culture

A commitment to worker health signals care and investment in your team, directly impacting workplace morale. A motivated and healthy workforce is, invariably, a more productive one.

What Does Our Onsite Physiotherapy Program Offer?

Our program in the mining industry features a dedicated space mirroring a traditional physiotherapy clinic that we call a Health Hub. Equipped for diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries, this space also facilitates rehabilitative or preventive exercises. Using our innovative online data capturing, we can identify injury-prone areas, shifts, and demographics. By collaborating with site management, we implement strategies to address these concerns.
