The
National Safety Council launched the Journey to Safety Excellence
campaign last year — a workplace advocacy initiative focusing on continuous
improvement to help employers make workplaces safer by reducing injuries and
illnesses, ultimately helping businesses save money. OSHA has partnered with
the NSC to spread word about the Journey campaign.
In
2012, the NSC reported that workplace injuries and fatalities cost our economy
$198.2 billion. The Journey to Safety Excellence provides an opportunity for
employers to engage with, and benchmark themselves against other companies to
learn best practices, and seek techniques to continuously advance safety within
their own companies. Doing so can affect the bottom line since every avoided
injury potentially saves $39,000 and every avoided fatality can save $1.42
million. Individuals interested in measuring safety in their workplaces can
