Proactive Health, Powerful Results: WorkCare's Transformation of an Aerospace Workforce

As a result, the site faced high injury rates, increased OSHA-reportable incidents, and significant financial burdens due to workplace injuries. The need for a proactive solution to improve workforce health and safety was evident.
