Workers' compensation is a significant operational cost for businesses. Premiums are heavily influenced by a company's injury and illness rates (Experience Modification Rate or EMR). Reducing workplace incidents directly lowers workers' compensation costs, improves profitability, and demonstrates effective safety management.
