ABSTRACT

A substantial portion of the budget of most safety and loss prevention professionals allows for the purchase of personal protective equipment for their employees, medical supplies, and professional services, as well as salary and benets for staff. Virtually all of these costs are xed but often possess an ongoing expense factor. Additionally, safety and loss prevention professionals are often faced with emergency situations and  unforeseen costs requiring specic items on an immediate basis. In  essence, safety  and loss prevention can be expensive, but methods are available to manage these costs appropriately.
