This study provides a case example of an energy company that prioritized occupational safety and health and accident reduction as long-term, strategic development targets. Furthermore, this study describes the monetary benefits of this strategic decision. Company-specific accident indicators and monetary costs and benefits are evaluated. During the observation period (2010-2016), strategic investments in occupational safety and health cost the company EUR 0.8 million. However, EUR 1.8 million were saved in the same period, resulting in a 2.20 cost-benefit ratio. The trend in cost savings is strongly positive. Annual accident costs were EUR 0.4 million lower in 2016 compared to costs in 2010. This study demonstrates that long-term, strategic commitment to occupational safety and health provides monetary value.
本研究提供了一个案例，说明一家能源公司将职业安全和健康以及减少事故作为长期的战略发展目标。此外，本研究还描述了这一战略决策的货币收益。评估了特定于公司的事故指标以及货币成本和收益。在观察期（2010-2016 年），职业安全和健康方面的战略投资使公司花费了 80 万欧元。然而，同期节省了 180 万欧元，产生了 2.20 的成本效益比。成本节约的趋势非常明显。与 2010 年相比，2016 年的年度事故成本降低了 40 万欧元。本研究表明，对职业安全和健康的长期、战略性承诺具有货币价值。
