The toll of workplace injuries and fatalities to American businesses and industries is high. In 2008 approximately 5,000 workers lost their lives and there were 3.7 million disabling injuries. It is estimated that the total cost of workplace injuries is in excess of $142 billion and the total time lost exceeded 120 million days.
