This value system is reflected in the amount of time the average adult spends in the workplace. Similarly, the expectation of safety in the workplace is recognized as a good business model. A healthy workforce decreases the rate of employee turnover and costs associated with training and hiring. Healthy workers also minimize costs associated with work absenteeism and loss of productivity. Many workers are able to sustain their level of productivity without interruption, but as with any system upset situations can develop, resulting in injury and impaired function.
