Workers wearing an exosuit experienced a 62% reduction in total strain and sprain injuries, a study examining hundreds of thousands or work hours shows. HeroWear, an occupational exoskeleton provider, conducted a longitudinal safety data study from five distribution centers over eight to 23 months and a combined 311,000 work hours. It found a 62% reduction in total strain and sprain injuries among workers who wore the Apex 2 exosuit. According to the suit’s maker, the lightweight exosuit helped workers at the centers lift and carry thousands of pounds of goods during case-picking shifts. The data also showed injuries decreased from previously having one every 20,000 work hours to fewer than one every 50,000 work hours.
