A strong safety culture leads to a safer environment, less risk, and lower premiums. But a comprehensive and effective safety program is difficult for a single person or small team to achieve. Contracting with Fox Valley Safety is often less expensive than hiring a full-time employee; plus, our professional consultants have a wide breadth of experience in dealing with the regulatory agencies, risk management, and safety training.
With Safety, Risk does not equal reward
Workplace illnesses and injuries have an impact on more than just the people involved: they can slow productivity, lower employee morale, and increase costs. When accidents occur, costs for workers’ compensation rise, often leading to a spike in insurance premiums.
Let Fox Valley Safety establish a safety plan that assesses and mitigates the risks at your company so you can be sure that your business has the safest working environment possible.
INJURY & ILLNESS AFFECT YOUR BOTTOM LINE
With any workplace injury or illness, there are two types of costs: direct and indirect. Direct costs are readily apparent – the cost of a worker’s compensation claim. According to the National Council on Compensation Insurance, the average cost of a workplace injury claim is $40,000. That’s a lot! But what about the indirect costs?
- Lost production time
- Damaged equipment
- Reduced morale
- Lower efficiency
- OSHA penalties
- Negative effects on company reputation
- Employee recruitment and retention

As part of Fox Valley Safety’s services, we will help you implement a successful injury prevention program, including training, OSHA compliance, and creating a safety forward culture.
PREVENT OR PAY – OSHA
A single serious OSHA violation could cost your business $13,653, and a willful or repeated violation could cost $136,521 (2021 figures). In our 25-year history, we have rarely heard of OSHA to find only one violation – which means multiple citations. Penalties like that could have a big impact on your business!
Fox Valley Safety will help you identify and eliminate deficiencies in your safety program so it can stand up to OSHA scrutiny.
If OSHA has visited you already, we can provide help navigating the citation, penalty, and abatement process.
