An injury and illness prevention program is a proactive process to help employers find and fix workplace hazards before workers are hurt.  We know these programs can be effective at reducing injuries, illnesses, and fatalities.  Many workplaces have already adopted such approaches, for example as part of OSHA's cooperative programs.  Not only do these employers experience dramatic decreases in workplace injuries, but they often report a transformed workplace culture that can lead to higher productivity and quality, reduced turnover, reduced costs, and greater employee satisfaction.
