Easy to say. Please post if your worker's comp costs have decreased because of OSHA. If not, don't post.

Worker's Comp costs increase with claims.
The beeping and flashing warns nearby employees that the machine is backing, and that the operator may be unaware of their location relative to the machine.

Unfortunately insurance being what insurance is... the industry rate is partially set by the whole. So some acting without regard to safety increases the costs to all.

The insurance industry that supplies worker's comp coverage has laid out its value.

Are you stating the insurance companies are being deceptive? Or is it the State of NH that through its Legislature and Governors office have imposed and sustained laws requiring worker's comp insurance are being deceptive?

Worker's Comp should not increase with OSHA-compliance according to the insurers and the State of NH.

You may be experiencing fines for repeated failure to comply... and I can imagine that an insurer having the knowledge would take it into consideration.

Sitting by a crackling campfire when it's pitch black and a loon calling in the background is a magical prehistoric feeling! The Native Americans must have loved it too.
