Safety Training Saves Lives and Money

How Proactive Workplace Safety Reduces Workers' Compensation Claims and Prevents Accidents

Workplace injuries remain a costly reality for American businesses. According to the latest data from Liberty Mutual's 2025 Workplace Safety Index, employers pay more than $1 billion per week in direct workers' compensation costs for disabling, non-fatal workplace injuries. The National Safety Council estimates that work-related deaths and injuries cost the nation nearly $1.2 trillion annually. But there's a proven solution: comprehensive safety training.

The Real Cost of Inadequate Training

The financial impact of workplace accidents extends far beyond immediate medical costs. When an employee is injured on the job, the average cost per medically consulted injury reaches approximately $42,000. For fatalities, that number exceeds $1.3 million per employee. These figures don't account for indirect costs like lost productivity, temporary replacement workers, overtime pay, legal fees, and increased insurance premiums.

Consider the ripple effects: an injured worker typically misses eight days of work on average, though serious injuries can result in 18 or more days of absence. During this time, other team members must pick up the slack, productivity declines, and business operations suffer. A study by the Integrated Benefits Institute found that for every dollar spent on healthcare benefits, an additional $0.61 in productivity is lost due to illness and injury.

Safety Training: A Proven ROI

The good news? Investing in workplace safety training delivers remarkable returns. OSHA research demonstrates that employers save $4 to $6 for every $1 invested in effective safety programs. A groundbreaking California study revealed even more impressive results: workplaces that underwent Cal/OSHA inspections experienced a 9.4% drop in injury claims and 26% average savings on workers' compensation costs over four years—saving an estimated $355,000 per inspected firm.

Real-world case studies confirm these findings:

A logistics company reduced workers' compensation claims by 25% after revamping its safety training program
A manufacturing facility achieved a 40% reduction in accident rates within one year of implementing rigorous safety training
A trucking fleet saved over $250,000 annually by reducing collisions through comprehensive driver safety programs

The New Worker Risk Factor

Recent data from Travelers Companies reveals a concerning trend: new employees face a disproportionately higher risk of injury. Analysis of over 2.6 million workers' compensation claims shows that inadequate training during the crucial first weeks of employment significantly increases the likelihood of accidents.

This vulnerability affects all industries but is particularly acute in high-risk sectors like construction, manufacturing, healthcare, and transportation. Companies that implement structured onboarding with comprehensive safety training during an employee's first 30-90 days see dramatically lower injury rates.

Top Causes of Preventable Workplace Injuries

According to the latest research, the two leading causes of workplace injuries are:

Overexertion (29% of injuries): Improper lifting techniques, repetitive motions, and physical strain
Slips, Trips, and Falls (23% of injuries): Wet surfaces, cluttered walkways, inadequate lighting, and improper footwear

Combined, these two categories alone cost employers $32.65 billion in 2024. Both are highly preventable through proper training and workplace modifications.

Building an Effective Safety Culture

Creating a culture of safety requires more than one-time training sessions. Industry leaders recommend:

Comprehensive Onboarding: New employees should receive role-specific safety training before beginning work. This includes hazard recognition, proper equipment use, emergency procedures, and reporting protocols.
Ongoing Education: Regular refresher courses keep safety top of mind and address emerging hazards. Digital training platforms make it easy to deliver consistent, trackable training across all locations.
Hazard-Specific Training: Focus on the most common risks in your industry. Manufacturing facilities need machinery safety protocols, construction sites require fall protection training, and healthcare workers need proper patient handling techniques.
Heat Illness Prevention: For outdoor and industrial workers, heat-related illness prevention training is critical, especially during the summer months. Workers need to recognize symptoms, understand acclimatization periods, and know when to seek medical attention.
Ergonomic Training: Teaching proper posture, lifting techniques, and workstation setup can reduce the risk of repetitive strain injuries by up to 30%.

The Impact on Experience Modification Rates

Workers' compensation premiums are calculated using your company's Experience Modification Rate (EMR), which compares your claims history to others in your industry. An EMR of 1.0 is average; below 1.0 results in premium discounts, while above 1.0 means surcharges.

Every prevented accident directly improves your EMR and reduces premiums. Companies that implement robust safety training programs often see their EMR drop significantly over 2-3 years, resulting in substantial long-term savings.

Beyond Cost Savings

While the financial benefits are compelling, the human impact matters most. Effective safety training:

Protects workers from life-altering injuries
Demonstrates employer commitment to employee well-being
Improves employee morale and retention
Enhances the company's reputation as an employer of choice
Reduces regulatory violations and OSHA penalties
Boosts overall productivity and efficiency

Taking Action

The evidence is clear: comprehensive safety training is not an expense—it's a strategic investment that protects both people and profits. Organizations that embrace proactive safety programs reduce claims, lower insurance costs, and create safer, more productive workplaces.

As workplace safety expert Rick Finemann of Berkshire Hathaway Homestate Companies emphasizes, "The dollars tied up in claims are staggering, but the real cost is in the human impact and the productivity you lose. That's why prevention is always more powerful than paying claims after the fact."

Every accident prevented is a life protected and a cost avoided. The time to invest in safety training is now—before the next preventable injury occurs.

Silca: New US DOL Rule to Protect Workers

The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration today announced a final rule to improve protections for workers exposed to respirable silica dust. The rule will curb lung cancer, silicosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and kidney disease in America's workers by limiting their exposure to respirable crystalline silica.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx today announced a final rule that explicitly bans the use of electronic cigarettes on commercial flights. The final rule applies to all scheduled flights of U.S. and foreign carriers involving transportation in, to, and from the U.S.

“This final rule is important because it protects airline passengers from unwanted exposure to electronic cigarette aerosol that occurs when electronic cigarettes are used onboard airplanes,” said Secretary Foxx. “The Department took a practical approach to eliminate any confusion between tobacco cigarettes and e-cigarettes by applying the same restrictions to both.”

Employees exposed to dangerous workplace hazards at Pennsauken aluminum  services plant

A aluminum company fined $308K  OSHA's investigation found 44 safety violations, including one willful:

Employer name: Aluminum Shapes LLC, 9000 River Road, Delair, New Jersey.

Citations issued: On Sept. 21, 2015, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited the company for one willful, three repeat, 35 serious, and five other-than-serious violations.
Investigation findings: OSHA launched an investigation April 16, 2015, after being notified that an employee suffered a broken leg on March 24 while operating a crane and was hospitalized. The company failed to report the incident to the agency within 24 hours, as required.

The willful citation involved electrical equipment with damaged parts that could adversely affect the safe operation or mechanical strength of the equipment. In addition, pendant control boxes for a crane were damaged, malfunctioning and not clearly marked; damaged slings were not removed from service; and metal saws were not guarded to prevent employee exposure, resulting in the repeat citations. Unguarded floor openings, lack of machine guarding and confined space training were among the serious violations.

The other-than-serious violations included the employer's failure to report the hospitalization and an inadequate hazard communication program.

Proposed Penalties: $308,000

Quote: "The number of safety violations found at Aluminum Shapes' plant is completely unacceptable. This employer blatantly ignored known safety requirements, causing a preventable worker injury," said Robert Kulick, OSHA's regional administrator in New York. "This company is now paying a hefty price for its negligence. The hazards identified in the investigation should be immediately addressed to prevent future incidents and ensure worker safety."

NATIONAL CENSUS OF FATAL OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES IN 2014 (PRELIMINARY RESULTS)

A preliminary total of 4,679 fatal work injuries were recorded in the United States in 2014, an increase of 2 percent over the revised count of 4,585 fatal work injuries in 2013, according to results from the Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI) conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The preliminary rate of fatal work injury for U.S. workers in 2014 was 3.3 per 100,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) workers; the revised rate for 2013 was also 3.3. Revised 2014 data from CFOI will be released in the late spring of 2016. Over the last 5 years, net increases to the preliminary count have averaged 173 cases, ranging from a low of 84 in 2011 (up 2 percent) to a high of 245 in 2012 (up 6 percent).

Key preliminary findings of the 2014 Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries:

 The number of fatal work injuries in private goods-producing industries in 2014 was 9 percent
higher than the revised 2013 count but slightly lower in private service-providing industries. Fatal
injuries were higher in mining (up 17 percent), agriculture (up 14 percent), manufacturing (up
9 percent), and construction (up 6 percent). Fatal work injuries for government workers were
lower (down 12 percent).

 Falls, slips, and trips increased 10 percent to 793 in 2014 from 724 in 2013. This was driven
largely by an increase in falls to a lower level to 647 in 2014 from 595 in 2013.

 Fatal work injuries involving workers 55 years of age and over rose 9 percent to 1,621 in 2014 up
from 1,490 in 2013. The preliminary 2014 count for workers 55 and over is the highest total ever
reported by CFOI.

 After a sharp decline in 2013, fatal work injuries among self-employed workers increased
10 percent in 2014 from 950 in 2013 to 1,047 in 2014.

 Women incurred 13 percent more fatal work injuries in 2014 than in 2013. Even with this
increase, women accounted for only 8 percent of all fatal occupational injuries in 2014.

 Fatal work injuries among Hispanic or Latino workers were lower in 2014, while fatal injuries
among non-Hispanic white, black or African-American, and Asian workers were all higher.

 In 2014, 797 decedents were identified as contracted workers, 6 percent higher than the
749 fatally-injured contracted workers reported in 2013. Workers who were contracted at the time
of their fatal injury accounted for 17 percent of all fatal work injury cases in 2014.

 The number of fatal work injuries among police officers and police supervisors was higher in
2014, rising from 88 in 2013 to 103 in 2014, an increase of 17 percent.

Climate Change: A Major Concern for Workers’ Compensation

Climate significantly impacts workplace safety and health. As global warming increases, and changing weather patterns become more pronounced, workers’ compensation insurance systems will be stressed to limits never before imagined.

Since the inception of US workers’ compensation legislation almost a century ago, climate extremes have been causally related to compensable events in both a traumatic and occupational exposure setting. Whether it be periods of extreme temperatures or significant storm, i.e.. Hurricane Sandy, weather patterns are reaching new record breaking levels and causing increased levels of occupation injuries and illnesses already.

Cal/OSHA fines aviation company in death of LAX baggage worker

Today's post is shared from the latimes.com

State officials fined an aviation services company $77,250 on Wednesday for five safety violations related to the death of a baggage worker in February at Los Angeles International Airport.

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health leveled the penalty against Menzies Aviation, whose employee, Cesar Valenzuela, 51, died after being thrown from a baggage tug that did not have a functional seat belt.

Cal/OSHA investigators said seatbelts were required for the vehicle and that Menzies' safety policies related to baggage tugs did not require and even discouraged the use of restraints in certain areas of LAX.

"This fatality could have been prevented with a well thought out and implemented safety plan as is required for all worksites in California," said Christine Baker, director of the state Department of Industrial Relations.

Menzies and other aviation service companies contract with airlines to provide cabin cleaners, security personnel, custodians, wheel-chair assistants and baggage handlers.

The citations prompted union officials and service company employees to renew their calls for improvements to working conditions at LAX, the nation's third-busiest airport.

"Workers punching in at the start of a shift ought to be able to finish the day without risking their health or losing their life,"...

How The 4-Day Workweek Could Revolutionize American Work Culture (WATCH)

Today's post was shared by Work Org and Stress and comes from www.huffingtonpost.com

As work-related stress levels are on the rise and burnout is increasingly taking a toll on employees, companies are searching for new and innovative ways to keep their teams feeling balanced, motivated and productive. While some employers allow workers to log in from home or enjoy shortened “summer Friday” hours, others are now turning to the four-day workweek model to help employees strike a better work-life balance.
DigitalRelevance’s director of digital media relations Ashley Sherman and Beholder’s chief operating officer Emilia Andrews joined HuffPost Live host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani today to discuss this rethinking of traditional office hours and the benefits it offers both employees and employers.
“I’m less worried about all the things that I’m not doing in my personal life during those days,” said Sherman of the benefits of a four-day workweek. “I know that I have Friday to do that, so I can really focus and center in on what I need to get done for work those four days that I’m there.”
Andrews had a similarly positive experience in shifting to the condensed workweek model at her company.
“Communication went up exponentially," she said. “People were there with a focus, knew what needed to be done, and were able to get it done… I was smiling more. I was happier. I was excited to see the staff when we came back on Monday… We really were all just more excited and more...

Wilcox Farms Fatal Silo Collapse - Citations

Today's post comes from guest author Kit Case, from Causey Law Firm.

By Kit Case from Causey Law Firm

The Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) issued a press release on June 4th stating that it has cited Wilcox Farms Feedmill, Inc., of Roy for safety violations related to a fatal silo collapse last December. One worker died after he was engulfed in more than 400 tons of corn that spilled out of the silo.

Wilcox Farms issued a press release on February 12, 2014 describing the incident, the emergency response to it and how competitor farms came to the business's rescue to provide feed for the chickens in the days after the accident.

“As an employer, especially a family business, it’s the worst thing you could ever imagine happening,” said Andy Wilcox. “The fact that we weren’t able to find Steve for two days was really tough.”

Wilcox has been cited for one “willful” and two “serious” safety violations with total penalties of $67,200. The state investigation found shortcomings in how the company maintained and managed the silo, and inadequate employee training.

A serious violation exists in a workplace if there is a substantial probability that worker death or serious physical harm could result from a hazardous condition. A willful violation can be issued when L&I has evidence of plain indifference, a substitution of judgment or an intentional disregard to a hazard or rule.

The day the 60-foot tall silo collapsed, two employees were working on feedmill operations, which included discharging corn using an auger in the silo. The unloading auger was not working that day, so they opened a side discharge door to allow corn to flow onto the outer portion of the auger. During that process, the silo collapsed and 400-500 tons of corn spilled out, engulfing one worker who was unable to escape.

“Worker fatalities are tragic and preventable,” said Anne Soiza, assistant director of L&I’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health. “Our state requires all employers to provide safe and healthy workplaces. We fully expect Wilcox will correct the hazards and practices that haven’t been fixed already to ensure their employees are as safe as can be.”

Wilcox Farms has 15 working days to appeal the citation.

As part of the investigation, L&I hired an engineer to assess the structural integrity of the silo.

The investigation found four instances where Wilcox was not following proper silo operation and maintenance procedures that may have contributed to the collapse. For example, if corn is added or discharged improperly or the silo is overfilled, tons of grain could build up at an uneven rate and then suddenly shift and create instability. The four instances were:

A side discharge system was used to unload corn instead of the manufacturer’s standard procedure of withdrawing grain from the vertical center via the auger. The side discharge system was not installed, designed or supplied by an authorized dealer or contractor.
The silo was overfilled all the way to the roof and past the maximum fill level of one inch from the top of the vertical walls.
The silo had been previously repaired with a patch over a rupture of the wall due to corrosion. The repair was not made with corrugated material and was not done in a way to ensure structural stability. Also, it wasn’t assessed by a structural engineer or the silo manufacturer.
There were previous occasions during which the company had simultaneously filled the silo while it was being discharged.

L&I concluded that this was a willful violation with a proposed penalty of $56,000.

The investigation also found two serious violations with proposed penalties of $5,600 each:

Employees weren’t trained in specific procedures and safety practices for silo operations and maintenance.
The employer did not maintain the silos in accordance with the manufacturer’s maintenance and safety procedures.

Wilcox Farms has 15 working days to appeal the citation. For a copy of the citation, please contact L&I Public Affairs at 360-902-5673.

Penalty money paid as a result of a citation is placed in the workers’ compensation supplemental pension fund, helping workers and families of those who have died on the job.

Medical pot covered by workers' comp, says appeals court

If undefined by statute, workers' compensation provides for an almost limitless delivery of medical benefits. What ever "cures and/or relieves" is authorized and is paid for by the employer/insurance carrier. Today's post is shared from hr.blr.com
The New Mexico Court of Appeals recently ruled that an employer must pay for an injured worker's medical marijuana. This appears to be the nation's first appellate court ruling in a workers' compensation case in which an employer has been ordered to pay for medical marijuana prescribed by an employee's healthcare provider to treat a workplace injury.
George Vialpando injured his back in a workplace accident in 2000 while he was employed by Ben's Automotive Services in Santa Fe. For years, he was unable to find pain relief through conventional drugs and treatment. His physician said Vialpando had "some of the most extremely high intensity, frequency and duration of pain, out of all of the thousands of patients I've treated within my seven years practicing medicine."
In 2013, Vialpando was certified by his healthcare providers to participate in the New Mexico medical marijuana program. The program, authorized by the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act, permits an individual to purchase marijuana after receiving certification from a medical practitioner licensed in New Mexico that states he has a debilitating medical condition and the potential health benefits of the medical use of cannabis would likely outweigh the health...

OSHA issues new directive to keep communication tower workers safe

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has updated its Communications Tower directive regarding the use of hoist systems used to move workers to and from workstations on communication towers. This follows an alarming increase in preventable injuries and fatalities at communication tower work sites.

More fatalities occurred in this industry in 2013 than in the previous two years combined. This disturbing trend appears to be continuing, with nine worker deaths occurring so far in 2014.

"This directive ensures that communication tower workers are protected regardless of the type of the work they are doing on communication towers," said Dr. David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health. "Employers and cell tower owners and operators must make sure workers are properly trained and protected."

The directive outlines the proper use of hoist and other fall arrest systems and includes detailed information on how to hoist people safely. The directive updates a 2002 enforcement policy, which only covered the hoisting of workers to workstations during new tower erection activities. The updated policy covers any work on a communication tower - including both maintenance and new construction - that involves the use of a hoist to lift workers from one elevated workstation to another.

The release of the new directive is the latest in a series of actions OSHA has taken to improve cell tower safety. The agency is collaborating with the National Association of Tower Erectors and other industry stakeholders to ensure that every communication tower employer understands how to protect workers performing this high-hazard work.

OSHA sent a letter to communication tower employers urging compliance and strict adherence to safety standards and common-sense practices. OSHA has also created a new Web page targeting the issues surrounding communication tower work. This outreach follows a November 2013 memo to OSHA's compliance officers and regional administrators mandating increased attention, education and data collection on the industry. OSHA continues to investigate past incidents and will issue the results as they become available. Communication towers are on the agency's regulatory agenda and OSHA expects to issue a Request for Information later this year.

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their employees. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Deadly silica standard is killing UK workers

Today's post is shared from hazards.org. Silica exposure was the the trigger in the US during the 1059's that incorporated occupational diseases into the workers' compensation acts throughout the US.
Silica exposures kill over 1,000 workers a year in the UK and leave many more fighting for breath. But, unlike its US counterpart, finds Hazards editor Rory O’Neill, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is following the industry line and says our deadly silica exposure standard is just fine.
When the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) visited Teesdale Architectural Stone Ltd (TASL) in September 2007, it discovered workers were facing unacceptably high exposures to crystalline silica, a dust that can cause lung cancer, the breath-stealing disorder silicosis and other serious diseases.
In two letters, the regulator told the Barnard Castle firm to clean up its act. Then it did nothing. After all, the company had written twice to assure the watchdog improvements had been made.
Only they hadn’t. Five more years passed before a return HSE visit discovered workers were still facing a lung-clogging and potentially deadly daily dose of dust.

What’s the problem? The US regulator says clear the air, the UK regulator says eat dust
•	In the UK, the official workplace safety regulator the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is resisting behind closed doors any shift to a more stringent silica exposure standard that would help prevent cancers, lung and kidney diseases and other potentially fatal conditions. Affected workers have no say.
•	In the US, the official workplace safety regulator, OSHA, is arguing at public hearings...
