Building and managing an OSHA compliant health and safety program isn’t easy, especially for small companies who almost always lack the internal expertise, time and resources needed to keep up.

This PR damage is often long lasting, and difficult if not impossible to repair.

These losses are made up of many direct and indirect costs including medical costs, downtime, recruiting and training replacement employees, legal fees, OSHA fines, increased insurance costs and more.
- Major civil liabilities: When an employee is seriously injured, or killed, on the job, they or their family often hire a personal injury lawyer to sue the company for settlements that often run into the millions of dollars.
