Why OSHA Matters
OSHA requires all businesses with employees to provide a safe workplace. Non-compliance risks include fines, lawsuits, injuries, and damaged brand reputation.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
- Fines up to $161,323
- Medical claims and lost productivity
- Insurance hikes and legal fees
- Morale damage and downtime
Compliance as ROI
Every $1 in injury prevention returns $2–$6 in savings. Plus it improves morale, efficiency, and recruitment.
Common Compliance Gaps
- Missing safety training docs
- Poor hazard communication
- Lack of fall protection
- Missing emergency action plans
How to Improve
- Do a safety audit (in-house or third party)
- Train your team regularly
- Document everything
- Review safety quarterly
- Use digital tools to track and report
Real ROI Example
A small company invested $8K in fall protection. One year later, it prevented a major injury—avoiding a $75K claim and OSHA fine.
