ABSTRACT
Safe and healthy workplaces help businesses and organisations to succeed and prosper and also bene-fit the society as a whole. Work accidents, besides the cost in terms of lost lives and suffering to work-ers and their families, affect business and also the society. Fewer accidents means less sick leaves, which results in lower costs and less disruption in the production process. It also saves employers from the expense of recruiting and training new staff, and can cut the cost of early retirement and insurance pay-outs (EU-OSHA, 2012).
