It Saves Lives
Each year, 2 million workers globally are killed in work-related incidents. Over 89.72 million injury and illness claims are also reported. These incidents result in pain and suffering, permanent disability, loss of jobs, loss of homes, family distress, and economic disaster for the affected workers and their families, as well as their employers.

It Saves Money
Injuries can have hidden costs that impact a business, such as unplanned downtime, lost time for workers, damaged equipment and products, reduced morale, and training expenses. Up to 82% of businesses have unplanned downtime and it costs them up to $260,000 per hour, according to Aberdeen Research. A serious injury can even threaten the survival of a business.

It’s The Law
Employers are required to have an Accident Prevention Program in place. If an inspector determines that a site has unsafe work or conditions, a Stop Work Order (SWO) may be issued to protect workers, residents, the public, and buildings and properties.
