How can a trash can save me
over $37,000?

Did you know back injuries are OSHA’s #1 reported worker incident, at an average medical cost of $37,000? Employers pay almost $1 billion per week for direct workers’ compensation costs alone, or $52 billion annually. Direct costs include workers' compensation payments, medical expenses, and costs for legal services. Indirect costs can double the final cost and include: training replacement employees, accident investigation, implementation of corrective measures, lost productivity, repairs of damaged equipment and property, and costs associated with lower employee morale and absenteeism.
