The Cost of Savings with Safety

Most employers maintain some semblance of a safety program at their company, either because they care about their employees or because they're required to by OSHA.  OSHA violations can range anywhere from just a warning, to $70,000 per incident with recent proposed legislation asking to raise fines even further into the range of EPA violations.  I would like to think that all employers care about their employees, but often profits come first.
