What is the cost of a safety and health program per employee?
This is difficult to determine. It is tough to put a price on safety. There are many ways to cut costs by constantly re-evaluating your programs and their effectiveness. We have incentive programs that reward employees for working safely. However, the money you may spend on these programs is more than saved in workers’ compensation costs and medical bills. The programs that we implement in your school system create a very interesting question — How many accidents did we not have today? There is no way to tell other than benchmarking your historical loss data and communicating to management.
