accidents cut into
your bottom line
Effective treatment
saves time, money
and productivity
By Dr. G. Duncan Finlay
On the jobsite, around the o;ce and in the manufacturing plant, accidents cause bleeding injuries
every single day. One might think that a
cut finger here, a lacerated forearm there
might not be major injuries but, overall,
these small injuries can significantly
impact a company’s bottom line.
According to reports from the Bureau
of Labor Statistics, cuts, lacerations and
punctures are the third leading cause of
lost time/days away from work in the
United States. In broad industry seg-
ments involving reported cases, construc-
tion ( 15. 4 percent) and manufacturing
( 11. 9 percent) ranked second and third
behind leisure/hospitality ( 15. 6 percent).
