Manufacturing Even with ergonomically designed tools and work environments, manufacturing remains one of the most physically strenuous fields of employment. The fabrication of metals, plastics, and other materials and goods is dangerous labor. And this is not only in terms of work environment where workers operate machinery and tools that can easily maim a person.
A study performed by Liberty Mutual earlier this century states that “overexertion” and “repetitive motion” are leading causes of of injury in the manufacturing sector. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that annually between 5.6% - 6% of the workers in manufacturing, and even as high as 7% in some sub sectors, will be injured. Damage caused by manual handling/lifting remain the main culprits of injury in the workplace. PSR®, Professional Safeguard Resources®, for 25 years has specialized in preventing human capital injury losses (primarily back injuries, neck injuries, shoulder injuries, falling injuries) and all types of effort related CTD's (Cumulative Disability Disorders) and MSD's (Musculoskeletal Disorders) in the labor intensive, HRIE (High Risk Injury Employees) workforces, including primary freight distribution companies from Mohawk Industries to Perrier USA (97% of spring water companies in U.S.)and Coca Cola Bottling Co.
PSR® - Brief Description PSR® is a synthesis of western orthopedic practices and Eastern (Asian) bio mechanic and therapeutic sciences. PSR® uniquely establishes a reflexive self strengthening work experience in the most awkward of circumstances. The system matures with minimum follow-up to become part of the workforce culture.

Many manufacturing jobs require the worker to lift, carry and move awkward shaped or heavy items around the production floor. Though on the surface these seem to be rather simple tasks, they can expose a worker to an increased risk of injury. On one hand the work can be fairly light but repetitive, but within an instant it can quickly become heavy and physically demanding work. The lower and upper part of the torso and shoulders are involved with both elevation and rotation of an object. Though the worker does not always experience immediate pain, repetitive activities can cause gradual traumatic injuries over a long period of time. and the damage can be severe.
