What Is the Cost of Safety?

Have you ever wondered if putting money into your organization’s safety policy was worth it? If so, you’re not alone. Many people think they can put safety off, until something happens, and then, they instantly regret their decision.

One organization in particular made an investment in improving their safety and truly reaped the benefits. Their safety turnaround resulted in

• Zero Lost Time Incidents,
• One million safe hours...then, two million safe hours,
• An Iowa Safety Council Award, and
• A National Safety Council Award.

Perhaps most importantly, the safety improvement even lead to a feature story on ABC prime time.

Now, while you’re deciding if an investment is ‘worth it’, consider the cost of not investing.
