Searson Buck & Longitude6 announce a new workplace risk mitigation and injury management partnership
Hobart, Wednesday 16th June 2021
Tasmanian recruitment, staffing and HR Consulting firm Searson Buck Group Pty Ltd are proud to announce their new strategic partnership with Longitude6 Pty Ltd.
Longitude6 was founded to bring the world’s “best in class” technology and solutions in injury prevention to the Australian workplace. With an expanding client base in the US and UK markets, their suite of technologies objectively measure and map the real impact of physical and psychological stress on the body, providing a rapid diagnostic solution to ensure people are fit for work and can safely undertake the functional requirements of a role.
Working closely with their insurance and broker partners, Searson Buck were introduced to Longitude6’s injury prevention solution and embarked on the journey of risk identification, mitigation, and prevention of workplace related injuries for their on-hired workforce.
Now firmly integrated into the Group’s pre-employment, onboarding, and return-to-work practices, this 3D motion capture and advanced movement sensor technology provides a non-invasive objective assessment of an individuals’ real-time functional capacity, and an improved worker risk profile.
Nick Prokopiec, General Manager Strategic Growth, stated that “the introduction of this advanced risk mitigation platform has allowed us to objectively determine the physical capabilities of our on-hired workforce, and better align workers to our clients’ workplace requirements. Having a greater understanding of an individual’s functional movement capacity has reduced the incidence of typical work-related injuries, particularly back, shoulders and movements associated with reaching and straining.”
Mark Heaysman, CEO of the Longitude6 Group commented that “it is such a privilege to have Searson Buck as a partner in delivering the Longitude6 innovative approach to workplace safety. Starting as a valuable client and now being a partner is great validation of how a partnership can mutually develop. Searson Buck bring over 30 years of delivering professional services to businesses in Tasmania and now together with Longitude6 will provide an innovative and world class approach to workplace health and safety to Tasmanian workplaces”.
