Most people spend about a third of their lives each day at work, and the jobs that they have is more than just a way to earn money. Most jobs that are worth having are staffed with passionate workers who want to do them well, and the workplace is where they go each day to practice their trade. That’s why it’s so important to you’re your employees comfortable and safe. You also have a fiduciary responsibility to protect your business from lost productivity and expensive worker’s compensation claims.

When it comes to saving money on worker’s compensation, the best defense is often a good offense. Training and workplace safety go hand and hand, and most workplace injuries are caused by employees acting negligently or using workplace assets improperly.
