Fall Protection ROI Calculator

The Diversified Fall Protection Fall Protection ROI Calculator is here to help employers assess the financial impact of falls.

Many employers mistakenly view fall protection as an expense rather than an investment. The fall protection calculator takes aim at this way of thinking by helping employers assess the financial impact of falls on company profitability.

The calculator uses the average costs of a fall and an indirect cost multiplier to project the amount of sales required at your current profit margins to offset the costs of falls. Data on average claim costs is provided by the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI).
