Your business:
Over the past few months we have been talking about safety in the workplace and last month we introduced a website called www.ToolBoxTopics.com. This month we are going to focus on how safety saves.

The average cost of occupation injuries and fatalities according to the National Safety Council Statistic Department 2006 for a disabling injury is $39,000; death is an astonishing $1,240,000. The figures represent per case average cost of an occupation injury but do not consider property damage, legal settlements or non-disabling injury estimates.

Incorporating world-class safety policies and procedures in your organization can provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace by:

1 – Reducing lost and restricted work days
“Lost work days due to illness and injury carry a total annual cost of $63 BILLION in lost work and productivity,” according to the Journal of Occupation and Environmental Medicine, 2003.

2 – Lowering Workers’ Compensation Premiums
”Workers compensation premiums generally account for as much as 50-75% of insurance premiums paid by companies.” (Zurich-American Insurance Group, 2005)

3 – Increasing Productivity and Improving Morale

4 – Protecting the company form legal liability and environmental remediation responsibilities

5 – Enhancing your corporate image.

Safety saves. When you incorporate world-class safety standards into your organization you achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Next month we will hear from Paul Madey, Safety, Health, & Environmental Engineer for Schneider Electric.

Make the most of your energy.
