Safety: A Solid Investment

A Liberty Mutual survey shows that 61% of executives say $3 or more is saved for each $1 invested in workplace safety, while 13% report $10 is returned for each $1 invested.*

The same Liberty Mutual study indicates that 93% of survey respondents report a close relationship between the direct cost and indirect costs associated with a workplace accident, with 40% of them believing that between $3 - $5 of indirect costs exist for each $1 of direct costs.*

OSHA's Office of Regulatory Analysis estimates that companies that implement effective health & safety programs can expect reductions of 20% - 40% in their injury and illness rates and a return of $4 to $6 for every $1 invested.**

In the 2001 article Measuring Safety's Return on Investment, the authors indicate that there is a direct correlation between a company's performance in safety and its performance, productivity and financial results (as alluded to by Forbes' 1999 financial rankings where ten of the most successful US businesses were participants in OSHA's VPP program).**

Leading motivations for taking safety actions (based on a survey of top employers):

• Cost of workers' compensation insurance
• Right thing to do
• Increases profitability
• Federal/State safety rules
• Too many accidents
• Productivity
• OSHA fines
• Employee concerns
