Happy 2011!!!!!

Many times with a new year comes a new job. And with a new job comes several new policies, procedures and programs to learn and follow. However there is one aspect that is often not given much attention and time when starting a new job; safety procedures. Because the majority of people have years of experience in their field most feel they are immune to injuries and accidents even if it is a new job. Nevertheless they still fall into this category time and time again. In fact, every time you change companies or change jobs you play the odds, and fall into the 1-in-4 statistic.

 New Job? What  are the Odds for Injury?
 

How many companies have you worked for in your career? How many different projects have you worked on? How many times have you changed occupations: from an oiler to an operator, from a laborer to a carpenter, or from a ironworker to a welder, then to a lead man? Every time you have made one of these changes you've faced a higher probability of being injured on the job. Studies show that in heavy industries up to 25% of injuries, or 1 in every 4 workers, will be injured within the first 30 days of starting work. Think of that...the first 30 days!

Accident Cost  to Me & My Company

Accidents happen. They are unfortunate, painful and can be life changing. We take great measures to prevent an accident but when one happens, we have workers comp insurance to cover the costs, right. Wrong! The insurance company only pays about 1/5 of what an accident can cost our company. They will pay for the Direct Costs like medical bills, prescription drug costs, a portion of the injured workers lost wages and maybe travel expenses to the doctor. So what are the costs to our company that are 4 to 5 times more than what the insurance company pays?
