Safety is good business. An effective health and safety program can save $4 to $6 for every $1 invested. It’s the right thing to do, and it pays off in lower costs, increased productivity and higher employee morale. As an employer, you have a duty to protect your workers from injury and illness on the job.
A formal health and safety program is substantially more than a way to comply with federal and state regulators, including Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Dept. of Transportation and the Environmental Protection Agency.
