One Partner. Two Powerful Ways to Work Together.
Whether you need a one-time project or a long-term on-site solution, GSC On-Site Services is here to help you reduce injuries, improve productivity, and support your workforce on your terms!
What is an Injury Prevention Specialist?
Our professionals become an integral part of your team, providing hands-on support every day. They help prevent injuries before they happen, improve job performance, and reduce turnover and absences.
This is how our team accomplishes on a regular basis:
Early Symptom Catch.
During daily floor rounds, one of our IPS noticed an employee rubbing their shoulder after stacking pallets. After a quick conversation, the employee admitted to "a little soreness." The IPS immediately brought them in for a Prevention Plus appointment, where stretching, soft tissue work, and body mechanics coaching helped resolve the issue, avoiding a potential injury report later on.
Coaching Better Lifting Techniques.
While observing at a busy distribution center, our IPS saw multiple workers lifting heavy boxes using poor body mechanics. They immediately paused the team for a quick coaching session, demonstrating a safer lift strategy customized to their workflow. Within days, supervisors reported improved lifting habits across the shift.
Improving Workstation Setup.
An employee working at a seated assembly station complained of numbness in their legs. The IPS evaluated their posture and setup, recommended a footrest and small chair adjustments, and worked with maintenance to reposition the worktable. The simple change relieved symptoms and prevented a developing ergonomic injury.
Flex for Success Participation Boost.
After noticing low participation in pre-shift stretching, an IPS engaged the team by leading short, interactive Flex for Success warm-ups and offering quick mobility tips tailored to their jobs. Within two weeks, flex participation rose by 60%, and employees reported feeling "more awake and ready" at the start of shifts.
Our IPS Staffing Service
-
We set employees up for success from day one with flexibility screening, body mechanics coaching, and site-specific safety education. By identifying physical limitations early and coaching proper movement, we reduce first-year injuries and improve retention. It’s a simple, data-backed way to build a safer, stronger workforce from the start.
-
Our Flex for Success program boosts mobility, reduces soreness, and helps prevent injuries with guided pre-shift warm-up and quarterly flexibility checks. Our Injury Prevention Specialists lead targeted warm-ups and track employee progress using data tied to common MSD risks. It’s a proactive way to keep your team moving well and working strong.
-
The Prevention Plus Program offers 15-minute early intervention sessions for employees experiencing minor aches and pains—before they become serious issues. Our specialists use flexibility, soft tissue work, Kinesio taping, job specific exercises, and body mechanics coaching to resolve issues quickly and safely. It’s fast, effective care that keeps your workforce healthy and on the job.
-
Body Mechanics Coaching teaches employees how to move smarter—not harder—on the job. Through hands-on guidance, our specialists show workers how to lift, bend, reach, and carry using techniques that reduce strain and prevent injury. It’s real-time coaching, right where the work happens, to build safer habits that stick.
-
Our Ergonomic Evaluations focus on how the job should be done, not how the employee is performing it. We assess biomechanical movements, physical demands, and identify problems and solutions, not just individual habits. Eliminating risks and modifying worker behaviors go together to resolve ergonomic challenges.
-
Our Site Education goes beyond traditional safety talks—we cover real-world topics like fighting fatigue, improving nutrition, and staying mobile on and off the job. These sessions spark engagement, boost awareness, and address the everyday challenges your workforce actually faces. It’s a fresh approach that keeps safety relevant and relatable.
What is a Job Analyst?
Our job analysts are the backbone of our project bundle, responsible for evaluating job tasks and delivering clear, actionable documentation. While they may not be embedded on-site full-time, they play an integral role in your team’s success—creating the framework you need to improve safety, efficiency, and compliance.
Here are a few examples of our job analysts in action—doing what they do best:
Ergo Solution in Action.
At one of our manufacturing client sites, a Job Analyst observed employees repeatedly stooping and twisting while loading products onto floor-level pallets. The physical demands included frequent trunk rotation and excessive forward reach—risk factors strongly associated with low back and shoulder injuries.
Our analyst recommended a low-cost ergonomic intervention: palletizing tables that maintain work at waist height and reduce the need for awkward postures. This change has since been implemented across all critical palletizing stations at the site.
Result: Since adoption, no injuries have been reported in those job areas—demonstrating the power of proactive ergonomics.
Testing Backed by Analysis.
Our Job Analyst team uses U.S. Department of Labor methodology to capture essential job demands—including force, weight, height, and frequency—ensuring accuracy, defensibility, and compliance.
This approach has enabled our clients to implement Pre-Employment Post-Offer Agility Testing that’s fully aligned with ADA and EEOC standards. Clients across multiple industries have confidently defended their testing programs, with zero legal challenges to date.
Result: A legally sound, medically appropriate way to match the right candidate to the right job—before injuries happen and lowered recruitment & hiring costs.
From Guesswork to Guidance.
Supervisors are often left guessing which job tasks align with employee restrictions. With our Return-to-Work (RTW) Matrix, that guesswork disappears.
Once our Department of Labor-aligned PDAs are completed, your team can use the matrix to match job demands to medical restrictions quickly and objectively.
Result: One customer reduced lost and modified duty days from 44442 to 2372 over three years, cutting total claims costs by nearly 74% and improving return-to-work outcomes site-wide.
IPS Project Bundle
-
The Physical Demand Assessment outlines the essential physical requirements of a job, helping you hire the right people, reduce injuries, and improve communication with medical providers. It includes a detailed task breakdown, force measurements, postural demands, and environmental conditions—creating a compliant, defensible document that supports HR, Safety, Ergonomic, and Return-to-Work decisions.
-
The Provider Summary Report translates job demands into clear, concise language that helps providers make confident return-to-work decisions. We bridge the gap between the clinic and production floor by outlining physical requirements that allow the provider to clearly identify work restrictions. The site can translate the work restrictions into productive short term return to work options. It’s true coordination between provider, company, employee, and claims.
-
The Job Summary Report is key to breaking down the physical demands of a job into clear, easy-to-understand terms for HR, safety teams, and prospective employees. It outlines essential functions, physical requirements, posture needs, and more—all based on real data from the PDA. It’s a practical tool for smarter hiring, training, and return-to-work planning.
-
Our Return to Work Matrix simplifies the process of matching injured employees to safe, appropriate job tasks during recovery. It outlines modified duty options based on physical demands, restrictions, and real job data—making it easy for HR, safety, health services, and supervisors to stay aligned. It’s a clear short term path back to full duty work that supports healing without compromising safety.

The Ergonomic Risk Assessment Summary
Our PDAs create an easy to identify top ergonomic risks for weight, force, frequency, and duration that allow safety to identify clear and objective ergonomic priorities or cost effective planning and implementation.
-
Our Flex for Success Program gives your team the tools to take ownership of their movement health—on their own terms. With guided posters, and quarterly tracking, employees can complete three levels of flexibility, and stay ahead of injuries independently.
