Employer & Employee, that’s it is having
importance
 Cost of compensation
 Cost of medical-aid

inspectors, & public health services

4. Contd.
 Cost of spoilage of materials
 Cost of the damage of machinery
 Cost of cost of wages payble during injury
 Cost of loss of morale; &
 Cost of loss to the worker and his family

5.  To prevent accidents in the plant by reducing the hazard to minimum.
