Ergo 101 - Fitting the Job to the Person

The steering committee for the Lake County Safety Council is proud to present the January monthly program  ---  Ergo 101 -- The Science of Fitting the Job to the Person --- on Friday, January 18

The keynote speaker will be Tymra Gerhart, Cintas Corporation, Human Resources Manager. She spend 18 years in leadership roles before settling into a position with the Cintas Corporation in the spring of 2015. There she soon realized the organization's safety culture surrounded her, and the company took safety very seriously.

Her presentation will focus on structuring the job to fit the employee. She works alongside the company's regional health and safety coordinator for accident investigation and partner engagement. She has lead safety teams, developed safety business plans, led safety trainings and developed front-line employees to be able to conduct the monthly safety trrainings.

She will discuss ergonomic items such as: posture, engineering and psysiology, anatomy and tool and equipment design, and "Fix the Work, Fix the Worker or Fix the Work Station." She also will address issues such as foot pain, back pain and The Power Zone. She notes Cintas is recognized as a world leader in health and safety performance.

They have 96 official VPP sites and five (5) sites waiting for official letters to become VPP sites. Her location was named an Ergo Excellent Center in 2015.

BWC News & Notes

 

Public employers: The BWC has several important reminders about payments, true-up and the Go-Green rebate:

  • The first installment for policy year 2019 was due Dec. 21, 2018.
  • To earn the 2-percent early payment discount, you must have your full 2019 estimated annual premium by Jan. 2, 2019.
  • Payroll true-up for 2018 will run from Jan. 1 to Feb. 15, 2019. True-up includes completing your report and paying any outstanding balance. Please note, the Go Green Rebate Program requires you to true-up and pay any resulting balance in the same transaction.
  • To remain eligible for the Go-Green rebate, you must have enrolled to receive electronic notifications prior to completing your 2018 payroll true-up.
  • Please note that the Jan. 2 date for full payment is an extension from the Dec. 31, 2018, deadline recently communicated in the policy renewal documents we sent to you.

The Go-Green Rebate Program reduces paperwork hassles and helps the environment. Through it, you can earn a 1-percent premium rebate, up to $2,000 each policy year. If you’ve not yet done so, you can enroll in electronic notifications by signing in to your account at  bwc.ohio.gov.

Your electronic notification preference is listed on your My Policy page. You can change your preferences by clicking on the Electronic notifications link. While we encourage you to sign up for BWC updates, Go-Green requires only that you sign up for policy notices. 

In addition to receiving electronic notifications, Go-Green requires employers to complete their premium payments and payroll true-up report online. You must also be current on your policy, meeting all payment and reporting requirements. We automatically enroll you in Go-Green when you meet all these requirements. For full details, see the Go Green Rebate policy online.

If you have questions, please contact our customer service center at 1-800-644-6292. Business hours are Monday through Friday 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EST.
