Cost of Injuries
continued from page 23
formance review of selected companies from more than 500 of the group's consultation clients.
The 1,800,000 disabling injuries recorded in 1987 cost a total of $42.4 billion. Of this amount, $12.5 billion was for direct medical and insurance costs. The remainder went for management and productivity losses and accident-related equipment damage.
"A construction company with 1,000 employees could expect to have 29 lost workday injuries in 1987," says Anthony F. Cantarella, product manager for Safety and Environmental Services. "At a profit margin of 4.9 per cent, it would need about $14 million in sales to offset these injuries.
"Clearly, safety makes good business sense. Even an average safety record can sap a company's financial health. And since the cost per injury is increasing faster than inflation, the fiscal importance of safety will continue to grow."
