    Safety culture must be more than a paper promise Workers Comp Insider
    Are a certain number of injuries considered acceptable? Are worker injuries an inevitable part of doing business? We don't think so, but occasionally we meet employers that do. When we talk to the 'some injuries are inevitable' employers, we can't help but wonder if they accept the same philosophy in other aspects of their lives. Would they find it acceptable if a certain number of injuries occurred to guests in their home? Or would it be acceptable if they got food poisoning in their favorite restaurant every now and again because accidents are inevitable? Not very likely.
