  2. Study: OSHA Inspections Reduce Injuries with No Job Loss • Harvard & UC Berkeley researchers found: • 9.4% drop in injury claims in the 4 years after inspection • 26% average savings on workers’ compensation costs • $355,000 average savings for an employer (small or large) as a result of an OSHA inspection • Study estimates $6 billion in savings to employers nationwide • There was no evidence that these improvements came at the expense of employment, sales, credit ratings or firm survival. • OSHA doesn’t kill jobs; it helps prevent jobs from killing workers
