Every business depends on the health and safety of its workers to operate, while the 'social' imperative of employee safety and the sustainability of our workforce is well understood, there is also an economic one that businesses must consider.
Workers' compensation claims and associated direct and indirect costs related to on-the-job injuries can make a huge dent in the finances of an organization.
