TWA is committed to assuring - so far as possible - that every working man and woman in the nation has safe and healthful working conditions. OSHA believes that providing workers with a safe workplace is central to their ability to enjoy health, security and the opportunity to achieve the American dream. Addressing safety and health issues in the workplace also saves the employer money and adds value to the business. Recent estimates place the business costs associated with occupational injuries at close to $170 billion-expenditures that come straight out of company profits.

When workers stay whole and healthy, the direct cost-savings to businesses include:

  • lower workers' compensation insurance costs;

  • reduced medical expenditures;

  • smaller expenditures for return-to-work programs;

  • fewer faulty products;

  • lower costs for job accommodations for injured workers;

  • less money spent for overtime benefits.

 

Safety and health also make big reductions in indirect costs, due to:

  • increased productivity;

  • higher quality products;

  • increased morale;

  • better labor/management relations;

  • reduced turnover;

  • better use of human resources.

 

Employees and their families benefit from safety and health because:

  • their incomes are protected;

  • their family lives are not hindered by injury;

  • their stress is not increased.

 

Implementing an accident prevention program will allow a business to learn first hand that the cost of accident prevention is far lower then the cost of accidents. TWA offers free help in identifying workplace hazards and establishing or improving safety and health management systems corporate-wide.
