Johnson Matthey Deploys VelocityEHS Industrial Ergonomics, Reducing Recordable Workplace Injuries Across Global Sites

 VelocityEHS, the global leader in EHS solutions and pioneer in applying practical AI to workplace safety, announces that Johnson Matthey (JM), a global leader in sustainable technologies and chemical manufacturing, has achieved a 97% reduction in recordable injuries between 2018 and 2025.

The success spans 35 global offices and more than 5,000 employees and is the result of JM’s long-standing partnership with VelocityEHS.

Driving Continuous Improvement Across Global Sites

JM’s improved ability to rapidly deploy site teams and precisely identify and reduce musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks now plays a central role in quarterly reviews and continuous improvement initiatives, enabling robust, data-driven decision-making at scale.

How They’re Doing It

JM employs three key strategies to sustain and expand these results:

  • Advanced 3D Motion Capture for Precise Risk Assessments
  • Intuitive and actionable dashboards
  • Comprehensive Expert Training

“Johnson Matthey’s results are a powerful example of what’s possible when organizations combine smart technology with a strong commitment to worker safety,” says Matt Airhart, CEO, VelocityEHS.

“Their ability to scale engagement and standardize risk reduction across global sites sets a strong example of what can be done,” Airhart added.
