SHARE - A Presidential Safety, Health and Return-to-Employment Initiative
In FY 2003, the cost of federal workplace injuries, measured by workers’ compensation losses, exceeded $2 billion and resulted in over 168,000 injuries and over 2 million lost production days. In January 2004, the President established the SHARE Initiative as a Government-wide effort to reduce this loss. The Secretary of Labor was tasked with establishing specific goals in four indicator areas: lower workplace injury and illness case rates, lower lost-time injury and illness case rates, timely reporting of injuries and illnesses, and fewer lost days resulting from work injuries and illnesses.
