Why we need a safety/wellness
program for employees
• Annually, employees report nearly 4 million nonfatal
workplace injuries and illnesses.
• Nearly 50% of Americans have one chronic health
condition, and almost 1/2 of this group have more
than 1 condition.
• By 2020, 1 in 4 American workers will be 55 years of
age or older.
• 44% of Americans reported work as always or often
stressful in 2010. NIOSH Top Reasons to Create a New Pathway
for a Safer and Healthier Workforce, 2014
