Case Study: Hitachi Energy achieves a 95% reduction in neck and back injuries with VelocityEHS Industrial Ergonomics

Hitachi Energy cuts neck and back injuries by 95% with VelocityEHS

Hitachi Energy, a major manufacturer, faced a challenge in scaling its health and safety operations to protect its global workforce. Their small, overstretched team struggled to manually identify and address ergonomic risks across large facilities. To develop their ergonomic program, they turned to VelocityEHS and implemented its Industrial Ergonomics software.

VelocityEHS provided the data and analysis needed to pinpoint the greatest risks. Guided by this, a cross-functional team implemented small, cost-effective process changes, like modifying a hydraulic punch. These changes, facilitated by VelocityEHS, led to a 95% reduction in neck and back injuries and a corresponding plunge in associated costs. The success led to a rollout across North America and plans for global expansion.
