Athletic Trainer
The Certified Athletic Trainer/Injury Prevention Specialist, a member of the EHS Team, focuses on setting the right conditions of work – from manufacturing and maintenance to sales and service – such that all Tesla employees can achieve and sustain healthy high work performance. What does this mean? It means this individual is not content with just eliminating the risk of injury but goes further to ensure healthy, human performance is “designed-in” to the human-work system. This individual will support management of change, works to accommodate a wide range of people both physically and mentally and works with Teams to prevent repetitive and overuse injuries. This individual also pays particular attention to the interaction of humans and productive systems. The Certified Athletic Trainer/Injury Prevention Specialist is expected not only to have the skills to plan, coordinate, and supervise all components of the Early Symptom Intervention program, but think critically and communicate effectively with individuals across all levels in the company.
