Every year a lot of money goes into the medical expenses incurred on the treatment of labourers who have been injured at the workplace which in reality cost the businesses a lot of money.
The most common of the injuries that happen in the workplace are of course overexertion, getting struck by something, falling from a higher level or even on the same level, bodily reaction and to some extent workplace assault as well as violence.
A lot of indirect costs are actually incurred in training of replacement employees as well as in the investigation of the accident that have occurred and the loss of productivity which might rise to twenty times higher that the actual wage management cost.
