According to OSHA, every day, more than 12 workers die on the job – over 4,500 a year. And, every year, more than 4.1 million workers suffer a serious job-related injury or illness. Injury prevention programs offer the foundation for changes in the way employers identify and control hazards, leading to a significantly improved workplace and safe environment for staff and customers. Adoption of an injury prevention program will result in workers and customers suffering fewer injuries, illnesses and fatalities. In addition, employers will improve their compliance with existing regulations, and will experience many of the financial benefits of a safer workplace, including significant reductions in workers' compensation premiums.
