The University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service conducted a study to evaluate the economic effects of the VOSH compliance programs on workplace safety, health, and economic growth.
The study concluded that the VOSH compliance programs provide substantial economic benefits to the state of Virginia by reducing workplace injuries and illnesses, improving worker productivity, and generating positive fiscal impacts. The cost-effectiveness of VOSH inspections further supports the value of continued investment in workplace safety and health initiatives.
