This article estimates workplace injury costs in the U.S. These costs have been studied in less detail than most injury costs. Our methods, which mostly use regularly published data, produce order-of-magnitude estimates. Overall, workplace injuries cost the U.S. an estimated $140 billion annually. This estimate includes $17 billion in medical and emergency services, $60 billion in lost productivity, $5 billion in insurance costs, and $62 billion in lost quality of life. One sixth of the societal costs result from the 3% of workplace injuries in motor vehicle crashes. Motor vehicle costs per injury are almost 6 times the workplace injury average.
本文估算了美国职场工伤成本。与大多数伤害成本相比，这些成本的研究细节较少。我们的方法主要使用定期发布的数据，得出的是大致估算值。总体而言，美国职场工伤每年造成的成本估计为1400亿美元。这一估计包括170亿美元的医疗和急救服务费用、600亿美元的生产力损失、50亿美元的保险成本以及620亿美元的生活质量损失。六分之一的社会成本是由3%的职场机动车碰撞事故伤害造成的。每次工伤的机动车成本几乎是职场工伤平均成本的6倍。
