The safety dance
Article Abstract:
A number of corporate finance officers are initiating worker safety programs in recognition of the potential of the programs to effect cost-savings for the company. Reports from the study conducted by the American Medical Assn show that US workplace injuries and illnesses accounted for $171 bil in medical expenses in 1992. Many finance officers have figured out the math in worker safety programs, proving the claims made by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration that a six dollar return can be realized for every single dollar invested in worker safety programs.
