an employer, you are responsible for the health and safety of your
employees. Over the past few decades
many laws have been passed to ensure workers are protected from hazards in the
workplace, an important one the Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970. As the employer you must provide a
workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing, or are likely to
cause, death or serious physical harm to your employees regardless of the size
of your business. Providing workers with
a safe workplace is central to their ability to enjoy health, security and the
opportunity to achieve the American dream.
Addressing safety and health issues in the workplace also saves the
employer money and adds value to the businesses. Recent estimates place the business costs
associated with occupational injuries at close to $170 billion-expenditures
that come straight out of company profits.
When workers stay whole and healthy, there are many direct cost savings
like lower workers' compensation insurance costs and reduced medical
expenditures. There are also indirect
cost savings like increased productivity, increased morale and better
labor/management relations.
