In an effort to raise awareness of how occupational injuries and illnesses can impact a company's profitability, OSHA has created the $afety Pays Program. This program uses a company's profit margin, the average costs of an injury or illness, and an indirect cost multiplier to project the amount of sales a company would need to generate to cover those costs.
Visit OSHA's website to use the Safety Pays Estimator Tool you might be surprised at the results.
