Description
Safety and health add value to businesses and providing a safe and healthful workplace for employees should be a top priority of employers. When workers stay well everyone benefits. Lower workers compensation insurance costs, fewer faulty products and reduced medical expenditures are some of the advantages to the employer with a safety program in place. Incomes protected and family lives not hampered by injury are benefits to the employee. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency with the Department of Labor, enforces these safety standards and provides education in the workplace.
