_x000D_ Investment in safety and health in enterprises has a direct and measurable cost-benefit potential, the results of a joint study have found.
_x000D_
_x000D_ The study compared data on interventions and analysed practices in over 300 companies from 19 countries. The results indicate that the cost-benefit potential for investments in prevention may be as strong as 1:2.2, and even higher for direct interventions, for example investments in preventive medical check-ups and safety training.
