Ignoring safety will always come back to bite you whether it’s from hefty fines, negative publicity or even worse a calamity of a worker. According to OSHA, safer businesses are more profitable. Fewer accidents mean less lost time, fewer lawsuits and a more motivated workforce. Added to all this, a safe business looks better to the public and to potential investors.

OSHA Safety Compliance Really Does Matter Ouch! The cost of unsafe working environments really does matter. In a recent news article from EHS Today, it clearly highlights that large corporations are not above the law, and that includes occupational health and safety regulations. Anheuser-Busch’s recent encounter with OSHA over the safety of their New Jersey warehouse resulted in a $162,000 fine, and this is not the first time that a multinational business has been accused by a workplace health and safety agency of ignoring warehouse safety. Amazon’s warehouse has come under fire for its working conditions and one big retailer in the UK was accused of pushing the limits of safety after its distribution center received 76 ambulance calls over the course of two years. That’s an average of over three ambulance emergencies a month.
