Occupational Medicine
Workplace injuries and lost time incidents in the United States present a complex challenge with widespread consequences. In 2021 alone, the total cost of workplace injuries reached a staggering $167 billion. This figure encompasses various components, including $47.4 billion in wage and productivity losses, $36.6 billion in medical expenses, $57.5 billion in administrative costs, and $13.8 billion in employers' uninsured expenses.
The average cost for each medically consulted occupational injury in 2021 stood at $42,000. It's crucial to note that these expenses don't account for potential fines, legal penalties, and litigation that may arise from workplace injuries.
Occupational health prevention, mitigation, and management programs play a pivotal role in fostering a safe and healthy work environment. Not only do these initiatives prioritize the well-being of employees, but they also bring about substantial cost-saving benefits for businesses.
