$afety Pays - An OSHA eTool
OSHA offers a variety of "eTools". These are interactive, web-based training tools covering occupational safety and health topics. One of their latest tools is called $afety Pays.
The "$afety Pays" program is an interactive expert system to assist employers in estimating the costs of occupational injuries and illnesses and the impact on a company's profitability. This system uses a company's profit margin, the AVERAGE costs of an injury or illness, and an indirect cost multiplier to project the amount of sales a company would need to generate in order to cover those costs. Businesses can use this information to predict the direct and indirect impact of injuries and illnesses and the estimated sales needed to compensate for these losses.
