• Abstract:
  For the purpose of motivating employers to encourage their employees to use safety belts, a manual for employers, "The Profit in Safety Belts: A View for Employers", is developed. The manual brings to the attention of employers the various cost elements, both direct and indirect, which are involved in employee motor vehicle accident-related injuries. Further, it illustrates through cost analysis of five pairs of parallel or similar case histories the potential savings employers can accrue when their employees use safety belts on and off-the-job. The featured cases are drawn from the files of seven participating employers. Finally, the manual features brief synopses of five employer programs which show indications of success/effectiveness in encouraging employees to use safety belts. /Abstract from report summary page/
