In a Bloomberg BNA piece this week, OSHA chief Dr. David Michaels was quoted as saying that many companies are beginning to understand that protecting worker safety is good for business.
“It's hard for me to judge overall changes,” Michaels told BNA, “but I certainly have seen many employers recognize that managing for safety is useful not only to prevent injuries and fatalities, but in fact leads to a more profitable company. And I believe that's being embraced much more widely.”
