Help Your Employees Address Ergonomic Risks
Ergonomic issues often begin as minor aches or discomfort. Over time, these issues can develop into serious injuries and costly workers’ compensation claims. The Ergonomic Grant Program supports employers in identifying and addressing ergonomic risks early.
Phase 4 of the Ergonomic Grant Program is now available to all active WSI policyholders. Participation in earlier phases is not required. The program provides access to professional ergonomic assessments, educational support, and grant funding for approved ergonomic improvements.
Ergonomic Assessment
WSI partners with experienced healthcare professionals across North Dakota to conduct ergonomic assessments at employer worksites. These assessments identify risk factors and provide practical recommendations to help reduce or eliminate cumulative-type injuries.
- WSI covers 75% of assessment costs
- Employers are responsible for the remaining 25%
- Providers bill employers directly for the employer portion
- Educational ergonomic services are covered at 100% by WSI
Ergonomic Grant
Employers are eligible for grant funding once the assessments have been completed. Funding supports ergonomic interventions recommended through the assessment.
- WSI covers 75% of approved ergonomic equipment costs
- Funding is available up to the maximum eligible amount
The Ergonomic Grant Program is available to any employer:
- Who has an active WSI policy with employees or has selected optional coverage on the account.
- WSI encourages employers to participate in this program to ensure ergonomic concerns are being addressed.
- To be eligible for a grant award, the employer must be in good standing with WSI for a minimum of one year.
