PPE: Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes [Infographic]

Nov. 20, 2015
To help encourage safety at work, Magid has created a new infographic that helps safety managers and workers discover common work-related injuries, costs and prevention options.

When hazards cannot be eliminated to decrease employee exposure, personal protective equipment reduces an employer’s liability risk and financial costs by protecting workers from injury.

OSHA estimates that for every $1 an employer spends on PPE, he or she receives a $4 return on that investment through reduced injury costs and improved employee productivity.

This infographic from Magid shows injury prevention options in PPE.
