The Financial and Moral Case for Safety: A Lawyer's Perspective

Tuesday, February 4 | 10:00 AM - 11:15 AM

Session Description:

An inadequate safety program can have a huge impact on your workers’ compensation costs and on your costs associated with workplace safety citations. Workers’ compensation claims’ costs impact employers in many ways and penalties for safety violations have increased exponentially over the past few years. Employers also often forget to factor in the emotional cost of serious injuries and fatalities. Learn “best practices” and the benefits of implementing a comprehensive safety program.
