However, they have the money to pay for an injury or claim, or at least pay the premiums for the insurance. If more employers would budget for prevention just as they do for, say insurance, the benefits will show up directly to the bottom line. It also shows their employees that they are important and worth the investment. Small business owners need to invest in their most important assest, their employees.

It makes a lot of sense to focus on prevention. Often times thought we wait until it is too late and we end up paying a much higher cost in dealing with the problem versus preventing it.
