Why safety programs alone aren't enough

Fraud & Malingering

25% of all WC claims are fraudulent. Workers' comp fraud costs U.S. businesses over $7.2B annually.

Substance abuse

3.6× more accidents, 5× more WC claims. Drug and alcohol abuse costs employers $81B+ annually.

Theft & Dishonesty

$50B lost annually to employee theft. 55% of applicants lie on résumés and job applications.

High Turnover

34% of WC claims come from first-year hires — rising to 40–50% of total costs in construction.
