According to the Liberty Mutual Group’s Workplace Safety Index, the top 10 disabling workplace injuries and illnesses account for 87 percent of the approximately $48 billion in wage and medical payments made to workers injured on the job. Surprisingly, the list hasn’t changed over the years—which begs the question of why not? Aren’t employers learning from their (literally) painful mistakes?
You can bet OSHA compliance officers are reviewing this list with keen interest. How does your workplace stack up? Even rectifying only the #1 item on the list—overexertion—could save your company’s bottom line; all by itself it accounts for one-quarter of all reportable incidents, with a price tag of $12.4 billion.
Join us on December 3 for an in-depth webinar that will explain the Top 10 and, even more important, how you can keep them out of your workplace.
You and your colleagues will learn:
- What the top 10 disabling workplace injuries and illnesses are, and what they cost American businesses annually
- How to make an analysis between the nationwide statistics and your workplace incidents
- The ins and outs of prioritizing safety programs
- A sound method for tracking year-over-year data
- How to sell management on the focused safety approaches and how to report progress
- The best way to get employee participation in solving repetitive incidents and modifying processes and procedures
- How to focus your safety program and training on preventing the accidents that happen over and over again
