How Inseer Is Transforming Workplace Safety Through Ergonomic Risk Assessments

Muscle and joint injuries remain one of the most costly and common workplace problems, yet many safety teams still rely on clipboards and stopwatches to measure risk. In this episode of The Industrial Lens, host Eric Hassen talks with Shane Larson, CEO of Inseer, about a better way to evaluate jobs on the plant floor. Shane shares how Inseer uses video-based motion analysis to measure forces, posture, and ergonomic risk in minutes, giving safety leaders reliable data to prevent injuries and justify improvements. Eric explains how Caster Connection uses Inseer to prove the impact of switching from commodity casters to ergonomic solutions that reduce push/pull force and improve worker safety. You'll also hear about the challenges of traditional assessments, the importance of validation and transparency when using new technology, and what the future of ergonomic risk assessment could look like.
