Helping You Create a Safer Workplace
There are nearly six million work-related injuries a year with 60,000 resulting in some permanent injury.
Overwhelming evidence shows that injuries, like disease, do not just happen. Many injuries are predictable, preventable events resulting from the way people interact with the potential dangers in the environment.
Besides the cost in grief and pain, injuries cost the national workplace $2,700,000 in lost income, medical expenses, property damage, insurance and other costs. Forty-one percent of injuries happen to adults between the ages of 25-44. Is your workplace safe?
