In today’s landscape of rising costs and increasingly competitive labour market, more than ever Canadian organizations are seeking accessible, innovative, and economical solutions to mitigate workplace injuries. Introducing a thorough injury prevention training program can be a key solution. Such initiatives not only curb work-related injuries but can diminish health expenses and minimize absenteeism. However, employers are challenged in setting up, organizing, and funding these solutions; sourcing available qualified professionals and subject matter experts to rely on is increasingly difficult.
Disability Management Institute (DMI)’s Injury Prevention Training programs provide employers with cost-effective solutions that include unlimited access to customized training matching the job requirements of their industry. Employers can simply assign their employee(s) the selected training modules through the DMI training portal. Training modules include a range of topics such as Injury Prevention courses to Health and Safety Training, which can be completed by the employee independently.
The versatility of Injury Prevention Training extends across various organizational needs including:
- Onboarding New Employees
- Maintaining Employee Skills
- Return to Work (RTW) Requirements
- Supporting Health & Safety Initiatives
How is it facilitated?
DMI will create a customized online training program or course for your organization, addressing the general physical requirements of your industry. The training is curated into a series of modules and lessons for the employee to complete independently. Modules address various subjects, including:
- ergonomic overviews
- risks for your specific industry
- staying safe with biomechanics
- protecting your back
- protecting your neck
- protecting upper and lower extremities
- getting fit for your job
- slowing down and being more mindful
At the end of the training sessions, participants will complete a quiz and receive their results. The training material can include internal documents or links that employees may need to access while completing the training, or any unique requirements that may be useful to meet the training needs. The training can be accessed through an invitation link emailed directly to the employee, who can return to their training at any time for their future reference.
How does this help the employer?

- Cost-Effectiveness: Yearly membership grants unlimited access to the training portal.

Ultimately, by adopting Injury Prevention Training with DMI, employers not only safeguard their workforce but also fortify their bottom line through enhanced cost-efficiency and operational resilience.
