Presented by Sharon Dossett, PNNL Safety and Health Division Manager, CHP, CSP

Example of ineffective safety program

Why?

On average, two people lose their lives every week Yearly, more than 250,000 workers' compensation claims Medical care and wage replacement for injured workers costs more

than a billion dollars Indirect costs are even larger
