OSHA Offers Safety Pays Calculator

 
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) offers a Safety Pays Calculator that includes tools to help business owners understand the costs of injuries. The Safety Pays Tool uses data collected from thousands of workplaces to provide businesses with the opportunity to compare their workplace safety record with their industry peers. The Individual Injury Estimator focuses on how much a specific injury could cost a business. Through these tools and related resources, the Safety Pays Program demonstrates the value of implementing workplace safety and health practices that keep employees safe while lowering costs due to work-related injuries and illnesses.
