Below are a few of the most expensive injuries per occurrence:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Amputations<\/li>\n<li>Dislocations<\/li>\n<li>Electric Shock<\/li>\n<li>Crushes<\/li>\n<li>Traumas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While some of those injuries have an individual cost over $100k, even inflammation can cost an employer nearly $25k. The key to injury and illness prevention is regular risk assessments followed by implementing any necessary changes. For best results in addition to your risk and safety teams, include employees from each role in your assessments and planning. Those individuals who are exposed to the environment and job duties on a daily basis can give great insight into things that may be easily overlooked by others who aren&#8217;t performing the essential duties for extended periods of time.<\/p>\n<p><em>Are you a stand out professional, technical professional, driver, or skilled worker seeking contingent, temporary, or long term career opportunities?\u00a0 Visit our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trilliumstaffing.com\/jobs\">job board<\/a>\u00a0 for more information!\u00a0 Want to learn more about how you can gain access to Trillium\u2019s national network of professionals and skilled workers?\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/trilliumstaffing.com\/contact\">Contact<\/a>\u00a0us today!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Trillium, a national leader in staffing and recruitment is a valued staffing partner to over 22,000 companies nationwide.
