Aviva has forged a partnership with health, safety and ergonomics specialists Cardinus Risk Management to provide insureds with access to motion analysis platform, 3MotionAi. The platform analyses video footage to identify potential risks of employees developing musculoskeletal disorders in the course of their work.

Aviva says figures from the Health and Safety Executive show that more than 510,000 workers experienced work-related musculoskeletal disorders in 2024/25.

Gill Milner, head of risk management solutions, casualty classes, at Aviva, said: “Many musculoskeletal risks aren't immediately obvious. In our pilots we've already seen 3MotionAi identify higher-risk activities that had previously been considered low risk, helping clients take targeted action before injuries occur.

“By delivering real-time, evidence-based insights into workplace activities, the technology helps organisations focus their efforts where they'll have the greatest impact, supporting safer workplaces, healthier employees and stronger business performance.”

Jon Abbott, director at Cardinus Risk Management, added: “By combining Cardinus' expertise in ergonomics and workplace health with Aviva's commitment to supporting customers, we've developed an intelligent solution that identifies musculoskeletal risks earlier, enabling timely interventions before they become more serious.”
