This book was released on 2005 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Workers' Compensation insurance, which covers all medical expenses and part of the lost wages associated with injuries, cost employers $63.9 billion in 2001 (National Academy of Social Insurance, 2004). The indirect costs of accidents lost wages, damage to equipment, training and rehabilitation expenses are several times this amount. On the job injury costs are an important component of the firm's operating expenses. Human resource management can change workers' incentives to take more care on the job (accident prevention), improve workers' incentives to return to work following an accident (loss reduction), and improve workplace efficiency by appropriately involving workers in the firm's decision making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the debate over health care reform continues, costs have become a critical measure in the many plans and proposals to come before us. Knowing costs is important because it allows comparisons across such disparate health conditions as AIDS, Alzheimer's disease, heart disease, and cancer. This book presents the results of a major study estimating the large and largely overlooked costs of occupational injury and illness--costs as large as those for cancer and over four times the costs of AIDS. The incidence and mortality of occupational injury and illness were assessed by reviewing data from national surveys and applied an attributable-risk-proportion method. Costs were assessed using the human capital method that decomposes costs into direct categories such as medical costs and insurance administration expenses, as well as indirect categories such as lost earnings and lost fringe benefits. The total is estimated to be $155 billion and is likely to be low as it does not include costs associated with pain and suffering or of home care provided by family members. Invaluable as an aid in the analysis of policy issues, Costs of Occupational Injuryand Illness will serve as a resource and reference for economists, policy analysts, public health researchers, insurance administrators, labor unions and labor lawyers, benefits managers, and environmental scientists, among others.

The research reported in this publication was carried out by HSE's Accident Prevention Advisory Unit with the help of industrial firms. It gives detailed results of five comprehensive studies to measure all accidental loss over 13 to 18 week periods.

Book excerpt: This book makes a strong case for investigating accidents, not just those cases which produce injuries. The study of accidents instead of injuries does not downgrade the importance of preventing human injury. Rather, it recognizes that many "no-injury accidents" might have resulted in personal injury, property damage, or both. If the causes of accidents--whether or not they result in injury--can be ferreted out, if it can be determined what unsafe conditions, or unsafe acts, or any combination was responsible for the accident, there is reason to believe that greater progress in preventing "accidents" and injuries is possible.
