Safe
companies are more profitable - studies show |
| |
Why
invest in safety incentives? |
| |
According
to the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), studies
show that the indirect cost of an incident can be up to 10 times
that of direct costs. |
| |
Among
indirect expenses saved (by companies that invest consistently
in safety) are training and compensating replacement workers,
accident investigation, scheduling delays and lost productivity,
administrative expenses and increased absenteeism. |
| |
According to ASSE for every $1 invested
in an effective workplace safety program, $4 to $6 may be saved.
Safety and health efforts can help employers boost profits and
create jobs. |
