When selecting a moving, logistics, or workplace solutions provider, safety might not always be the first factor that comes to mind. However, a company’s commitment to safety directly impacts project efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and—most importantly—the well-being of workers and clients.
The High Cost of Overlooking Safety
Workplace injuries don’t just affect employees; they have significant financial and operational consequences for businesses. According to the National Safety Council (NSC), workplace injuries cost U.S. employers $167 billion annually, including lost productivity, medical expenses, and administrative costs.
Why Safety-Focused Companies Are the Best Choice
Choosing a company that prioritizes safety practices means you’re working with professionals who:
- Minimize Risk – A company that invests in safety training, equipment, and protocols reduces the likelihood of accidents that could cause delays, damage, or liabilities. According to OSHA, businesses that implement robust safety programs experience a 52% lower incident rate than those without.
- Enhance Efficiency – Safe work environments lead to fewer disruptions. Evidence found by OSHA suggests that companies who implement health and safety programs see returns in $4 – $6 dollars for every $1 invested.
- Protect Your Assets – In industries like moving and logistics, poor safety practices can result in damaged equipment, property, or inventory. A company that follows rigorous safety protocols ensures that your valuable assets arrive intact.
