1.Moral – managers undertake accident prevention on purely humane grounds. The objective is to minimize the pain & suffering of the injured worker & his family as the result of an accident
2.Legal – today, there are federal, state & municipal laws covering occupational safety & health & penalties for non-compliance have become quite severe. organizations are subject to fines & supervisors can received jail sentences if sound responsible for fatal accidents
3.Economic – the cost to the company of small accident can be quite high. Workers compensation insurance simply compensates the injured worker. Among these are payments for settlements of injury or death claims, legal fees for defence against claims, cost of rescue operation, increased insurance costs & others.
