What is the cost of a workplace injury?
Manual trash dumping places immense stress on the lower back, neck, and shoulders. When a worker is injured from lifting, the costs extend far beyond basic medical bills.
$43,000+ per Claim: According to the National Safety Council (NSC), the average cost of a single medically consulted workplace injury is $43,000.
$13.7 Billion Annually: The Liberty Mutual Workplace Safety Index consistently ranks overexertion (lifting, pushing, pulling heavy objects) as the #1 most expensive workplace injury category, costing U.S. businesses over $13 billion every year.
The "3x to 5x" Indirect Multiplier: Beyond direct medical bills, companies face indirect costs (lost productivity, hiring/training temporary staff, and legal fees) that run 3 to 5 times higher than the direct insurance claim
14 Lost Workdays: The median time an employee spends away from work due to a musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) is 14 days, significantly disrupting operations compared to 9 days for other standard injuries.
A Dump Dolly is a fraction of the cost of one workplace injury. What is keeping you from protecting your employees?
