                    Terms of Use
                    This calculator is based on the *Safety Pays Program* created by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
                        It is intended to help raise employers' awareness of the impact of occupational injuries and illnesses on profitability.
                        The estimated cost of an injury is calculated from data provided by the National Council of Compensation Insurance, Inc. (NCCI) and reflects the various
                        costs of medical only and lost-time workers' compensation insurance claims for policy years 2012-2015. These costs shown do not necessarily represent what a specific company directly pays.
                        NCCI makes no guarantees nor assumes any responsibility for the accuracy of any results obtained through the use of the data provided through
                        this tool. NCCI's information and data may not be used or copied in any manner except as provided in conjunction with the National Institute for
