Widespread suffering

• One reason for this is the excessive news coverage of murders relative to other causes of death like workplace fatalities.

Myths about worker control

• One misconception among managers is that, because workplace safety is so important, every aspect of employees’ work requires control.
• Even managers that ceded small, incremental amounts of control to employees had a positive impact.

Myths about safety costs

• According to a comparison of more than 400 workplaces that were not targeted for safety inspections in California, and an equal number that were randomly selected for inspections between 1996 and 2006, random safety inspections work.
• These gains in safety were achieved without any cost to employment numbers, sales, credit rating or likelihood of firm survival, which are frequent concerns in the face of government safety inspections.

Myths about sick leave

• The pandemic highlighted the misconception that paid sick leave hurts organizations.
• If we are to protect employee health and limit the spread of infection, we need to de-politicize perceptions around basic workplace programs such as paid sick leave.
• Paid sick leave policies and programs are primary tools in preventing the spread of infections, thereby benefiting employees and protecting organizations and their communities.

A new approach is needed

• Another small action that could have wide-ranging benefits is to change the very language of occupational safety.
• For too long, “workplace accident” has been the term used for any workplace safety incident or injury.
• Yet post-injury and inquest reports tell us that the opposite is true: these incidents are invariably predictable, preventable and controllable.
