So... why is training important?
In 2009, 4,340 fatal work injuries were reported at workplaces throughout the U.S. The construction, transportation, and warehousing industry led all industries in workplace deaths with 816 fatal work injuries. (US Department of Labor, OSHA)
The number of nonfatal workplace injuries in 2009 was 3.3 million cases. (US Department of Labor, OSHA).
Businesses spend $170.9 billion a year on costs associated with occupational injuries and illnesses-expenditures that come straight out of a companies profits. (J. Paul Leigh, Stanford Medical Center)
