Injury risk factor identification, prediction, and mitigation

Abstract:

A method and system for identifying workplace risk factors is provided. The method includes monitoring via execution of multiple geographically distributed sensor devices, workplace injury based events associated with individuals at a multisite distributed workplace environment. Current injury data describing the workplace injury based events is stored and predicted future workplace injury based events associated with future workplace injury based events with respect to a predicted plurality of individuals at the multisite distributed workplace environment are determined. Injury risk mitigating actions associated with prevention of said predicted future workplace injury based events are generated and an associated cost optimized reduction plan for prioritized implementation of the injury risk mitigating actions is generated.
