Accidents Cost Money

Small business owners and major corporations alike now realize that the actual cost of a lost workday injury is substantial. For every dollar you spend on the direct costs of a worker’s injury or illness, you will spend much more to cover the indirect and hidden costs. Consider what one lost workday injury would cost you in terms of:

  • Productive time lost by an injured employee;
  • Productive time lost by employees and supervisors attending the accident victim;
  • Clean up and start up of operations interrupted by the accident;
  • Time to hire or to retrain other individuals to replace the injured worker until his/her return;
  • Time and cost for repair or replacement of any damaged equipment or materials;
  • Cost of continuing all or part of the employee’s wages, in addition to compensation;
  • Reduced morale among your employees, and perhaps lower efficiency; Increased workers’ compensation insurance rates; and
  • Cost of completing paperwork generated by the incident.
