Direct costs created by workplace injuries total $51.8 billion annually and include workers’ compensation payments, medical expenses, civil liability damages and litigation expenses. This sum represents one quarter of each dollar of pretax corporate profits. However, the indirect costs may run as much as 20 times the direct costs of on-the-job accidents and illnesses.
