Why are OSHA data statistics important?
Ensuring employee safety in the workplace is a key challenge for all companies. Apart from the moral imperative to preserve workers’ health, there are all sorts of financial and legal costs, and direct losses to employers and employees due to operation interruptions and forced downtimes in the event of any work-related injuries.
OSHA (the Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is part of the U.S. Department of Labor. The OSH Act covers most private-sector employers and their workers, in addition to some public-sector employers and workers in the 50 states and certain territories and jurisdictions under federal authority.
