DID YOU KNOW

A safety culture is more valuable than just savings on workers’ compensation costs. A recent study from the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago revealed that safety is what’s most important to workers – above wage, maternity leave and paid sick days.

The study collected data from dozens of surveys and polls conducted from 2001 to 2010 by NORC, and found that about 12 percent of workers reported an on-the-job injury during the past year. Most importantly, more than eight in 10 workers rated workplace safety first in importance among labor standards.
