How Can Organizations Reduce Cost of Workplace Injuries?
When planning your business strategy, one of the things you cannot overlook is workplace injuries’ real or potential costs. Such injuries in the workplace can lead to human suffering, total loss costs, physical damage, and loss of productivity for employers.
This blog covers:
What is the Definition of Workplace Injury?
Any injury that occurs while in the course of employment is a workplace injury.
For organizations, it is necessary to have a module on-site to keep track of the cost of a workplace injury.
Preverly is the module designed to automate the process of incident management and reporting ultimately assisting in managing the cost of workplace injuries. Preverly is designed for use in a variety of industries in order to record, track, analyze, manage, and ultimately prevent incidents in the most efficient manner possible.
In any organization, workplace incidents can lead to a productivity loss of a major scale. Additionally, if a worker gets injured in the workplace, he or she may have to take leave, which can also impact other employees’ morale, as they may feel unsafe and, consequently, unmotivated in the workplace.
Additionally, losses such as damage to reputation and loss of goodwill associated with the company’s now tarnished image can be as significant as they are immeasurable.
Preventing incidents and creating a culture of safety awareness will ensure that the above does not occur and negatively affect your business.
Why do Organizations Need to Manage the Cost of Workplace Injuries?
In every organization, employee safety is said to be paramount. Yet every year thousands of work-related injuries still occur with the associated loss costs.

Reporting of such incidents to the top-level executives in the organization is necessary in order to target loss causes and marshal resources to correct defects within the system.
Multiple injuries can happen on a day-to-day basis on a job site and keeping track of every incident is almost impossible. Preverly serves as a central repository for all the incidents and enables field workers to report the incident in real-time.
