Did you know, workplace injuries cost employers nearly $60 billion a year?
Nearly three million on-the-job injuries occur each year (and more than one-third of those injuries required time off from work in order to recover)?
Did you know 1.2 million missed work days were reported in 2017 due to injuries? Or that workers took an average of eight days away from the workplace to recuperate from these injuries?
These jarring statistics come directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and present an accurate — and frightening — picture of where we’re at when it comes to injuries in the workplace.
