OSHA’s Safety Pays Program can help you estimate the immediate and long-term costs of workers’ injuries, including lost profits and increased workers’ compensation insurance premiums.
The Safety Pays Program raises awareness of how occupational injuries and illnesses can impact a company’s profitability. The program features multiple tools to help employers estimate costs from workplace injuries. The Safety Pays Tool uses data collected from thousands of workplaces to provide businesses with the opportunity to compare their workplace safety record with their industry peers. The Individual Injury Estimator focuses on how much a specific injury could cost a business. Through these tools and related resources, the Safety Pays Program demonstrates the value of implementing workplace safety and health practices that keep employees safe while lowering costs due to work-related injuries and illnesses.
