OSHA Violation Costs
The cost and effects of a workplace injury go beyond claims and fines. A serious OSHA violation penalty can be up to $15,625.
The penalty for a willful or repeated violation can be up to 10x higher! $156,259.
Average Claim Cost
The average cost of a workplace injury claim is $41,353. It is conservatively estimated that for every dollar spent on workers' compensation, you can spend $2.12 on indirect costs.
Actual Cost
$41,353 + ($41,353 x $2.12) = $129.021 (Actual cost)
If your company operates at a 10% profit margin, you will need an additional $1,290,000 in revenue to pay for the injury.
The Components of a Successful Lockout Tagout Program
The first step in the development of a successful Lockout Tagout program is documenting the LOTO energy control process within your facility. Each program must be customized for compliance with the applicable OSHA regulations and standards, as well as your company’s specific requirements and policies.
The documentation needs to include clear energy control procedures (ECP) for affixing appropriate lockout and/or tagout devices to energy isolation devices:
- Process review and data collection
- Energy control procedure (ECP) development
- Final review and delivery
If you already have a LOTO program in place, our team can perform a LOTO Compliance Gap Assessment to identify improvement opportunities and make recommendations.
Of course, the power of your Lockout Tagout program investment is unlocked when your people are properly trained, and empowered with the skills to do their job safely. You can rely on our safety training expertise to meet compliance requirements, and to advance the capabilities of your team with lockout tagout training.
