Most musculoskeletal injuries are predictable before they’re a claim.
Task risk, capacity, fatigue, and prior injury combine long before a worker reports pain. Our programs are built to catch that combination early — with the same task, the same worker, weeks or months before it becomes lost time.

Static risk tools miss the real picture
Tools like RNLE, REBA and RULA score a task snapshot, not the worker doing it that day — fatigued, recovering, or carrying an old injury. They miss what actually predicts the next claim.
Compliance training doesn’t change behaviour
An annual manual handling course ticks a box. It doesn’t touch the specific tasks, the specific bodies, or the specific patterns producing your actual claims.
Findings without a measured baseline go nowhere
A risk assessment that isn’t tracked against a baseline can’t prove it worked — so it gets deprioritised the next time budgets tighten.
Four layers, working together.
Each layer feeds the next — screening informs targeting, targeting informs training, training informs measurement.
MSK capacity & health screening
Baseline functional capacity and injury history for the workforce, or for a targeted group — the starting picture everything else is measured against.
Task risk assessment
Named tasks, named exposure — force, posture, repetition, duration — assessed against the workforce actually doing them, not a generic role description.
Fatigue, recovery & psychosocial modifiers
The real-world factors that turn a manageable task into an injury — rostering, recovery time, and psychosocial load — factored in rather than ignored.
Targeted early intervention
Exercise physiology-led intervention aimed at the specific people and tasks the assessment flagged — not a blanket program applied to everyone regardless of risk.
When the program outgrows a spreadsheet, there’s a platform for that.
Rugged At Work is our sister platform — a governance-first decision-support tool that runs this same four-layer model at scale, with an auditable evidence trail for every recommendation.
- Human-in-the-loop — recommendations only, people make the decisions
- No automated fitness-for-work determinations
- Tenant-isolated data, audit-first by design
60-day pilot program
Rugged is offered only once a measured baseline exists — a pilot follows on from a Peak Physiology assessment, it isn’t sold cold. Up to 15 users, one site, real data.
