Employee Turnover & Lost Days

When employees are injured or leave the company due to stressful or difficult working conditions, there are also indirect costs to the employer, including:

• Wage costs related to time lost through work stoppage
• Wages paid to injured workers for absences not covered by workers' compensation
• Administrative time spent by supervisors after there has been an injury
• Costs for training replacement employees

Employers are realizing that the combined indirect costs for workplace injuries are far too high to ignore the need for an ergonomics workplace safety program.
