Reasons for a Company to Invest in a Low Cost Online Employee Training System

Financal Reasons:

"Safety and health programs save $4 to $6 for every dollar invested in such programs."

- Charles Jeffress, OSHA Administrator

The National Safety Council's 2001 Injury Facts publication reported for the year 2000, work-related injuries cost employers $131.2 billion dollars. Additionally, for every $1 an employer paid towards work-related medical expenses, those work-related injuries cost the employer an additional $4.20 in wage and productivity losses, administrative expenses, and other indirect costs such as time spent investigating and reporting injuries, hiring and training of replacement workers, and extra costs of overtime for uninjured workers.

Other Facts:

There is a work-related death every 101 minutes and a work-related injury every 8 seconds.
The average cost per death is $980,000 and average cost per disabling injury is $28,000.
For every 6-work days lost in 2000 for a work-related injury, employers can expect to lose an additional 4 1/2 workdays in future years.
The average claim in 2001 was $10,610 and the average loss time accident cost was $14,000.

Company Morale:

"[4 out of 10] hourly employees believe their supervisors either do not know how to satisfy their safety responsibilities or that no system requires them to do so."
"Most companies score notably low on recognition [of employees] for doing a good job and working safely. This is a measure of whether people are positively reinforced, which is known to be the best way to foster safe behaviors."
"At least one-third of the total workforce wishes to be more involved [in safety awareness]."
"Safety excellence only occurs when supervisors, managers and executives demonstrate their values through actions and then, being credible, ask hourly workers to help improve the system."
"These [overall] scores reflect one of two conditions: 1) Supervisors do not know what it is they are supposed to do with respect to safety (a training problem); or 2) no system requires them to take these actions (an accountability problem)."
