Selective Insurance Introduces AI Ergonomic Risk Assessment Tool
Selective Insurance has introduced an ergonomic risk assessment tool that can identify high-risk body positions or movements that may lead to severe injuries and workers compensation claims. Developed by TuMeke Ergonomics, the solution is available to Selective’s workers compensation policyholders.
According to a study of workers compensation claims made with Selective, in 2021, workplace-related injuries were reported 18% earlier in employees’ tenure than in 2011—5.2 years compared to 6.4 years. The study also found that, during that period, strain-related injuries were the most common type of workers compensation claims in construction (22.4%) and manufacturing and wholesale segments (27.2%).
