What me worry?
A Michigan workers' compensation insurance company recently paid for a survey of Michigan employers to find out what they thought were "the greatest barriers to teaching your employees about workplace safety". What they found should not surprise workers.
With a margin of error of 4% the answers were:
38% - I don't know, we don't care about that
25% - No time to work safely, we need to make production
11% - Turnover. Everyone quits before we can train them
7% - There's no information. OSHA? What's that?
7% - Costs, it's cheaper to fire injured workers
11% - Other (lame) excuses
