The Challenge: Safety and Security Risks in Manufacturing
The manufacturing sector faces significant safety and security challenges:
Workplace Injuries
- According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, manufacturing accounts for 15% of all nonfatal occupational injuries and illnesses.
- In 2020, there were approximately 395,300 nonfatal injuries and illnesses in the manufacturing sector.
- The total cost of work injuries in the U.S. was estimated at $171 billion in 2019, with manufacturing being a significant contributor.
Fatal Accidents
- In 2020, there were 340 fatal work injuries in manufacturing.
- The fatality rate in manufacturing was 3.1 per 100,000 full-time equivalent workers.
Security Breaches
- Manufacturing is the second most targeted industry for cyber attacks, with 21.7% of all attacks.
- Physical security breaches can lead to theft, property damage, and intellectual property loss.
Compliance Issues
- OSHA violations in manufacturing can result in fines up to $134,937 per violation.
- Non-compliance with safety regulations can lead to production shutdowns and reputational damage.
