Researchers: Maurice Gosselin (U. Laval), Jean-Pierrre Brun (U. Laval)
Even though occupational injuries represent economic issues for companies, workers and society in general, OHS specialists still have a difficult task in measuring the benefits and costs of programs to improve occupational health and safety in companies. The first part of this report is a literature survey that summarizes current knowledge on cost-benefit analysis in occupational health and safety. The second part provides a model of cost-benefit analysis that demonstrates the profitability of investing in occupational health and safety.
