Both of these features are also critical to ensuring worker safety. On the job injuries due to laceration caused by a sharp edge or poor cutoff have several associated costs. The Occupational Health and Safety Organization (OSHA) reports that dollars spent on direct injuries are a fraction of the total costs of a lost time incident, other costs incudes: Productive time lost by an injured employee and impacted supervisors Cost of continuing all or part of the employee s wages Increased workers compensation insurance rates Time to hire or to retrain other individuals to replace the injured worker Time and cost for repair or replacement of any damaged equipment or materials Clean up and start up of operations interrupted by the accident The costs associated with these factors can approach, per laceration.
