How Fibre Tec Packaging resolved 91% of identified safety risks in under a year
A Chicago packaging manufacturer used CompScience's AI-powered video analytics to surface the hazards their claims data couldn't show — then acted on them.
A Claims History That Didn't Tell The Full Story
Fibre Tec's high mod rate reflected years of costly workers' compensation claims — but the numbers alone couldn't explain what was driving them, or where the next major incident would come from.
Two Video Analysis Sessions. A Complete Hazard Picture.
135 hours
Fall hazards from bale-standing, unguarded pinch points, ergonomic strain patterns, forklift safety gaps.
168.4 hours
Continued ergonomic risk, floor condition hazards linked to the $100K fall, machine guarding gaps, PPE non-compliance.
What The Video Saw That The Claims Data Couldn't
Four causal risk categories, scored with CompScore — an AI-powered indicator that predicts future losses and measures improvement over time.
Workers standing on cardboard bales
Employees repeatedly climbed onto 4+ foot stacks of baled cardboard to feed balers — a behavior not documented in any claims record.
Systemic ergonomic risk
Workers bending entirely at the waist to retrieve sheets from floor level — the root cause behind ~$500K in strain injuries, confirmed on video.
Unguarded machine points
Hands routinely entering danger zones near conveyor nip points and baler pinch points — despite zero historical losses in this category.
Forklift & material handling risks
Forklifts operating with view-obstructing loads, workers without hi-vis clothing, and unstable stacks creating falling-object hazards.
From flagged hazard to engineered fix
Workers standing on 4+ ft bale stacks to feed the baler — resolved with engineered work platforms, preventing 80+ unsafe exposures monthly.
91% of actions completed in under a year
From June 2025 through April 2026, Fibre Tec's team resolved 30 of 33 recommended actions across risk mitigation, program onboarding, and ongoing safety milestones.
Caught In / Between had zero claims history — but pinch points scored 75 (Very High Risk) in session one. CompScore identified the risk before any incident occurred. That’s the catastrophic incident that hasn’t happened yet — and now won’t.
“CompScience supported us to quickly identify and work through critical action items. Now the focus has shifted from the flashing red items to more proactive safety measures.
