NSC Expands Free Safety ROI Calculators to 13 Technologies
WASHINGTON – November 10, 2026 -- The National Safety Council (NSC) has expanded its free Employer Investment Calculators from eight to 13 safety technologies, letting companies model costs, savings and five-year return on investment with their own operational data.
The suite was developed through the NSC Work to Zero program in partnership with McElhattan Foundation. New additions include EHS software, heat stress monitoring and ergonomics video analytics. About 8,500 users a year already use the tools to evaluate safety investments.
Fatalities have not fallen as fast as recordable injuries
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordable injury rate has declined significantly over the past 25 years. Workplace fatalities have not dropped at the same pace, and more than 4,500 workers died on the job in 2023.
