Injuries and illnesses

Work-related injuries and illnesses can affect every aspect of life for injured employees and their families. There’s pain and suffering because of the injury. There also could be loss of income, job or career, or the financial impact of medical bills not covered by insurance. There’s stress on relationships, and possibly permanent medical or mental health problems.

Providing a safe workplace not only helps protect a worker from injury and illness, it can decrease compensation costs, reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and raise employee morale.

And that’s smart safety!
