Workplace injuries don’t just hurt employees, they disrupt operations, increase costs, and make retention harder. Yet, many companies still overlook ergonomics. Soon, they won’t have a choice.
On June 1, 2025, New York’s Warehouse Worker Injury Reduction Act will require large warehouse employers to conduct ergonomic evaluations, reduce injury risks, and train employees on prevention. Regulators are cracking down, and companies that don’t prioritize ergonomics now may be forced to.
But smart businesses won’t wait for mandates. They’ll use ergonomics as a competitive advantage to boost efficiency, cut turnover, and create safer, more productive workplaces. Here’s why investing now makes sense.
Many businesses don’t realize how expensive ergonomic issues can be until they’re facing rising injury rates, lost productivity, and high turnover. A single musculoskeletal injury can lead to weeks or even months of lost work, and for businesses with high physical demands, those losses add up fast.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are one of the most common lost time workplace injuries, yet they often go unnoticed until they become severe. Employees suffering from back pain, repetitive strain injuries, or joint problems may try to push through the pain at first, but over time, their performance declines. Simple tasks take longer, mistakes increase, and efficiency drops.
High-injury environments like warehouses and manufacturing facilities are particularly at risk. These injuries don’t just slow down individual workers, they disrupt entire workflows. When one employee is injured, others must pick up the slack, leading to increased strain on the rest of the team, more errors, and even further injuries.
Many companies don’t realize the true cost of workplace injuries until they see the numbers. In the U.S., healthcare expenses for musculoskeletal conditions alone exceed $420 billion annually. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Beyond medical expenses and workers’ compensation, hidden costs add up:
When ergonomic risks go unchecked, these costs spiral out of control. Preventing injuries is always cheaper than dealing with the fallout.
Workers know when a job is physically demanding, and they also know which companies take safety seriously. If a company gains a reputation for frequent injuries, recruiting and retaining employees becomes an uphill battle.
In industries already struggling with labor shortages, failing to prioritize workplace safety makes hiring even harder. When they see co-workers getting injured, or experience it themselves, they’re more likely to leave for a company that values their well-being.
With regulators taking a closer look at workplace ergonomics, New York is leading the way with new legislation aimed at reducing warehouse injuries. Companies operating in the state will need to act fast to stay compliant.
As of June 1, 2025, large warehouse employers in New York must meet strict new ergonomic safety requirements.
This law applies to:
New York is one of the first states to pass a law specifically mandating ergonomic evaluations and risk reduction in warehouses, but it’s unlikely to be the last. As warehouse automation and high work quotas continue to increase physical demands on workers, regulators are paying more attention.
California already has strict workplace ergonomics laws in industries like agriculture and healthcare, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see similar measures introduced for warehouses. States with strong labor protections, like Washington and Oregon, may also consider ergonomic-specific regulations in the coming years.
But forward-thinking companies aren’t just reacting to legal changes. They’re using ergonomics as a strategic tool to reduce injuries, improve efficiency, and keep their workforce strong. The smartest businesses aren’t asking, “Do we have to do this?” They’re asking, “How much can we gain by doing it right?”
Traditional ergonomic assessments are slow, expensive, and reactive. TuMeke Ergonomics changes that. Our AI-powered platform analyzes employee movements using just a smartphone camera. No wearables, no manual data collection, no disruption.
With New York’s new warehouse safety law and more regulations on the horizon, businesses that take a proactive approach will gain the edge by reducing injuries, lower costs, and a building a safer, more productive workforce.
