The effects of an accident at work
Physical Effects on the Employees
The majority of the accident cost pertained to the loss, either temporary or permanent, of a trained employee. The physical injuries that contributed to this loss include the following:
- Retired due to permanent injury (arm, fingers)
- Loss of ability to handle materials
- Persistent headaches
- Persistent pain
These injuries result in a wide range of either part or full off time, ranging from a month to several years. The equivalent salary for these losses adds a significant amount to operational overhead.
