Premise Health Occupational Health Clients Yield 52% Lower OSHA Recordable Rates
Premise Health conducted an analysis of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recordable injuries within our occupational health book of business. This analysis included over 52,000 eligible lives across 19 employers.
The Study
This analysis was conducted on OSHA recordable injury rates for employers within our occupational health book of business. Those rates were then compared to industry benchmarks. There are seven industries represented in the study:
- Beverage and tobacco product manufacturing
- Educational services
- Hospitals
- Machinery manufacturing
- Merchant wholesalers, durable goods
- Professional, scientific, and technical services
- Utilities
The Methodology
This study leveraged the Bureau of Labor Statistics Quartile Datasets of total OSHA recordable cases by industry1 to create industry standard benchmarks of OSHA recordable rates per 100 employees. Employers were analyzed through their first five years of operation with Premise, with go-live dates ranging from 1999-2016. Benchmarks reflect each worksite’s calendar year of operation.
The Findings
Based on the over 52,000 eligible lives studied in the first five years of operation, OSHA recordable rates were significantly lower for employers who partnered with Premise to deliver occupational health compared to overall industry rates. Each year showed OSHA recordables rates that ranged from 41% to 52% lower than industry benchmarks.
According to the National Safety Council the cost per medically consulted injury in 2020 was $44,0002, so an injury rate that’s over 50% lower than the industry standard means big time savings for employers.
At Premise, our preventative approach to occupational health prioritizes stopping injuries before they happen. While workplace injuries and illnesses still happen, our providers deliver effective care that minimizes severity and helps reduce OSHA recordable cases, keeping employees healthy and business compliant.
