I want every worker to go home whole and healthy every day. Safety makes sense in other ways as well. Some folks assume that safety and profitability are incompatible. In fact, they go hand in hand. The most profitable companies know the secret.
Safety is good business.
It's also common sense. Only 30 percent of employers nationwide have established safety and health programs. If we are going to achieve our goal of sending every worker home whole and healthy every day, that must change. Enforcement underpins all of our efforts. Together with state OSHA programs, we have about 2,500 inspectors to cover 6 million worksites and 100 million working Americans.
