Cost of Head Injuries vs. Helmets — Which Investment Makes Sense?
When it comes to workplace safety, few investments are as straightforward—and as critical—as helmets.
The numbers speak for themselves:
-
Average cost of a head injury: $80,000+
-
Average cost of a helmet: $50
The math is simple. For less than the cost of a dinner out, companies can prevent injuries that lead to catastrophic medical bills, lost productivity, OSHA fines, and even lifelong disabilities.
The True Cost of Head Injuries
Head injuries don’t just hit the wallet; they impact lives, families, and entire operations. Employers face costs that go far beyond medical expenses:
-
Lost workdays & reduced productivity
-
Increased workers’ compensation claims
-
Potential OSHA fines & legal liability
-
Lower employee morale & trust in management
The Smartest Investment on the Jobsite
For just $50, a quality, OSHA-compliant helmet provides:
-
Protection against falling objects and electrical hazards
-
Compliance with OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.135 & 1926.100)
-
Peace of mind for both employers and workers
Helmets are not optional—they’re an essential safeguard that protects workers and businesses.
