You can reduce the costs associated with workplace injuries and illnesses by implementing an effective safety program. When you make safety a priority and actively promote safety to your employees, you can change your employee's behavior toward safety and reduce the number of workplace accidents.
Running a business involves taking risks. You take chances to remain competitive. But, some risks are not worth the gamble. One such risk relates to the safety and health of your employees. Exposing those who work for you to hazards is a high stakes game with real losses. You invest money to protect the safety of your business, for example, fire suppression systems, burglar alarms, etc.; why not invest at least equal or more time, money and devotion to your employees?
