    I wonder if that’s still cheaper, because it makes people value safety of others but also because it raises the burden to report smaller accidents and workmans comp fraud because of peer pressure.

      The cost is in the lost productivity from having someone off work with injuries. A barbecue every 6 months seems like a bargain.

        It really is, the average time loss injury in our company is usually upwards of 30k down the drain. And just an accident can be catastrophic in terms of cost as well.

        A BBQ compared to that is nothing.
