Benefits of Having a Health and Safety Program
- Think of it as Insurance
If you have an accident in your car your insurance will minimize the cost to you. If there is an accident at work, and you have an effective Health and Safety program and have trained your workers, this will minimize the potential costs to you.
- Cost Control Through Health and Safety
According to WSIB, the average cost of a workplace lost time injury is $13,000.
By developing an accident prevention program you can avoid these costs. A return to work program will reduce your WSIB costs even more.
By reducing the number and severity of injuries, and by having an effective return to work program you may even be eligible for a refund of part of your premium from WSIB.
