that the company with a well-managed safety and health system
enjoys better overall management.
- Increase productivity rates and assure product quality.
Your Business as a Whole
An exemplary workplace safety and health management system is "good
business sense" that also makes financial sense because it will
allow you to:
- Learn first-hand that the cost of accident prevention is
far lower than the cost of accidents..
- Improve the bottom line by:
- Lowering injury and illness rates,
- Decreasing workers' compensation costs,
- Reducing lost workdays, and
- Limiting equipment damage and product losses.
And if you are a small employer, you may be
eligible for another great benefit - recognition by the state
and OSHA through participation in the Safety
and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP).
