A major food manufacturer, Blue Diamond, partnered with ATI Worksite Solutions to reduce injury risk, lower workers’ compensation costs, and strengthen overall workforce safety.
The food manufacturing industry faces repetitive motions, physical strain, and fast-paced demands, conditions that heighten workplace injury risks. Blue Diamond was experiencing high OSHA recordables and workers’ compensation costs that had reached $1.5 million annually. Employees often pushed through early symptoms, while EHS leaders needed more proactive and consistent injury-prevention support. A scalable onsite strategy was essential to reduce preventable claims and improve safety outcomes across multiple locations.
To address these challenges, ATI Worksite Solutions launched an Embedded Early Intervention program at Blue Diamond, placing onsite specialists to identify and manage symptoms before they escalated. Early success at one facility led the company to expand the program across additional sites as measurable improvements quickly emerged.
With ATI specialists integrated into daily operations, employees at Blue Diamond gained immediate access to support for early strain, discomfort, and repetitive-use symptoms, preventing minor issues from progressing into recordable injuries. EHS leaders gained clearer insight into trends and risks, strengthening prevention strategies. As the program scaled, workers’ compensation claims dropped sharply, reporting improved, and the organization experienced meaningful cost savings along with a stronger safety culture.
