You can save if your lab is unsafe enough!

They’ve never gone more than a month without an accident? Find a new work place immediately!

With a large enough workplace in the wrong industries it’s really easy to have something that could count against it.

I work in the LTL freight industry, we get quite a few.

The author of this comic has a number of excellent coffee table compilations: https://www.tomgauld.com/comic-books-v2 (unaffiliated – I just like them :))

It’s even worse considering that they only have five boards. They expect at least one accident every month

I work in the LTL freight industry, if we go 30 days without an accident or an injury we get a free BBQ day with unlimited food for everyone. We’re talking burgers, hotdogs, chilli, chowder, chips, drinks, etc. Sometimes they even do catering. Our last one they did Hawaiian Food for 2 days (they got too much) which definitely made everyone happy.

I’ve been there for almost 10 years, we average about 2 per year.

Edit to clarify: 2 BBQs per year. We’re really good as getting hurt.

I wonder if that’s still cheaper, because it makes people value safety of others but also because it raises the burden to report smaller accidents and workmans comp fraud because of peer pressure.
