Workplace injuries can result in employee disability, lost productivity, and painful effects on your company's bottom line. According to the [U.S. Department of Labor](https://www.osha.gov/dcsp/products/topics/businesscase/costs.html), employers pay almost $1 billion per week for direct workers’ compensation claims.

There are also federal, state, and local regulations you may need to follow.
