 The costs of not providing OSHA training
The National Safety Council estimates that workplace injuries in the U.S. cost a staggering $167 billion annually. Many of these injuries are preventable with proper Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training. While there may be some training expenses, the cost of not training employees is much higher. Here are some important factors to consider if you are not providing OSHA training.
