Return on Safety Investment (ROSI)

Return on Safety Investment (ROSI) is a measure of how effectively a company’s safety spending improves safety performance and reduces costs. It compares the benefits gained from safety investments—such as fewer workplace injuries, lower insurance premiums, and increased employee productivity—to the costs of implementing safety measures. A high ROSI indicates that safety investments are producing significant benefits, making the company safer and more efficient. Essentially, ROSI helps organizations evaluate whether their safety efforts are worth the investment by showing the financial and operational returns gained from prioritizing safety.
