Preventing employee injuries pays off
Back injuries account for nearly 20 percent of all injuries and illnesses in the workplace. They cost the nation an estimated $20 billion to $50 billion per year, according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. The average cost of a low-back-associated workers’ compensation claim is nearly $8,500.
Clearly, anything you can do as an employer to reduce these risks among your employees is well worth the effort.
