Planner allows companies to estimate costs and benefits to develop a business case for safety
A new tool developed by the Institute for Work and Health (IWH) allows businesses in Manitoba to measure the costs and benefits of starting a workplace safety program.
The planner guides business owners through the planning process and helps navigate the research and analysis employers require to develop a business case for health and safety programming, according to SAFE Manitoba.
The tool includes instructional videos and a step-by-step approach that allows employers to store and update company information and create summary sheets to use when planning and making decisions on health and safety programs, the organization said.
The tool allows employers to retrieve past incidents from their database and measure the costs of an event using the incident cost calculator. The program also includes a glossary of terms and examples of economic evaluations.
