How Many is Too Many?
When it comes to accidents in the work place, how many is too many? If your company incurred only 25 injuries this year, would that be okay? How about 10 injuries? How about 5? Or, how about 1? How many is too many?
CBR’s Risk Team advocates “Injury Free Environments,” but is it truly possible? Is it necessary to strive for Zero Tolerance? Why isn’t 99.9% good enough?
If 99.9% was “good enough,” we would have:
- 20,000 incorrect drug prescriptions filled every year.
- 500 incorrect surgical procedures each week.
- 50 newborn babies dropped every day.
- 22,000 checks/withdraws deducted from wrong bank accounts every hour.
We don’t tolerate such nonsense in other critical areas of life, so why do we tolerate it in the workplace where we spend over half of our waking hours?
