Slips, trips and falls. Overexertion. Getting caught in or struck by equipment.
These are among the top 10 most disabling types of workplace injuries in the U.S.
For employees, an injury can result in lifelong medical problems, the loss of a job or career, pain and suffering, stress on relationships, and a dramatic shift in their financial wellbeing. For employers, having a safe workplace – and culture that fosters and rewards safe behavior – not only protects employees from injury, it can increase productivity, boost the quality of your product, and raise employee morale.
Bottom line? A safe environment is good for business. It’s why the most effective leaders embrace workplace safety as a critical component of their organization.
