An Overview on Industrial Safety
According to the National Safety Council there were 4,900 workplace fatalities in 2002 due to unintentional injuries. There were 3.69 deaths per 100,000 workers in 2002. On the job, 3.7 million American workers suffered disabling injuries in 2002. That means more than 10,000 disabling injuries per day, not including all other smaller scale injuries.
The Department Of Labor's statistics show that overall injuries amount to 16,000 per day. That means that 16,000 people will be injured on the job today! But that isn't all, work injuries cost Americans $146.6 billion in 2002.
Whether it's from an employee safety perspective or from a money saving perspective, workplace safety makes sense. Companies cannot exist without some type of safety plan. Compliance consultation, safety preparedness training, safety products and such is an example what industrial safety companies, such as Legend, can help you with.
All manufacturing and industrial companies are different and must comply with a broad range of safety and health compliance regulations. Controlling the rising cost of doing business has forced many companies to rely on outside expertise. As productivity quotas increase, companies must manage safety issues that directly affect the bottom line.
As consultants, we think strategically to accomplish safety goals within the big picture of your business. We speak your language and understand the performance and budget constraints that affect your decision making. As specialists in this field, we'll think through your safety and loss control issues with you.
A safety preparedness program will prevent injury from occurring at your workplace. A safety preparedness program will save your company hours of logistical work and wasted aggravation. And last but not least, although it is a money investment, your returns are almost guaranteed to save your company money in the long run. Since being serviced by Legend, many companies' Experience Modification Factor (EMF) has decreased significantly saving them tens of thousands of dollars per year.
