Indirect Costs

Indirect costs are a significant portion of the total loss to the company directly stemming from ergonomic related injury. A Liberty Mutual study noted that 40 percent of managers reported that each $1 of direct cost for injury generated between $3 and $5 of indirect costs. With the nature of these indirect costs ranging from 3-5 times (3-5x) the base claim costs, 3x reflects a more conservative injury and baseline average of indirect costs. In more complicated cases and risk scenarios, depending on the extent and nature of the injury, the indirect costs can dramatically rise to levels in the 4-5x range.

Considering the nature of injuries within your workplace,
