WASHINGTON The U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association has recognized Goodyear and Michelin North America Inc. for their efforts in workplace safety and health with 2021 Innovation Awards.
The honors, presented virtually recently, are part of the USTMA s annual Sustainability Awards for Workplace Safety and Health.
In the technology category, Goodyear was recognized for a motion-capture app it developed that performs ergonomic risk assessments.
Goodyear s use of this technology allows employees to film their fellow employees performing a job and upload that clip to the app, which generates an ergonomic risk assessment, the USTMA said.
This tool has helped identify and implement actions to reduce risk and using it within the ergonomics process has reduced ergonomic risk by as much as 30 percent in jobs assessed.
