Overview: Workers’ compensation rates are increasing, and that trend is likely to continue—based on indicators such as high insurer losses and rising medical costs. For employers, the financial fallout from safety risks can be significant. In addition to workers’ comp costs, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can levy fines of up to $70,000 for each violation. And, indirect costs related to turnover and lost productivity add up quickly.Organizations trying to do more with less need someone in management to help keep those costs in check.Training is one of the key elements to reducing workplace accidents and the costs associated with them.
