How the Return on Prevention Calculator Works

Our ROI Calculator is based on comprehensive international studies demonstrating the financial benefits of lean manufacturing and automation implementation. This tool helps you understand the real economic impact of investing in lean solutions.

Calculator Process

  1. Enter your total planned investment in health, safety, and ergonomic products, such as LFA’s ergonomic equipment and safety solutions.
  2. The Return on Prevention Calculator automatically generates the projected economic benefits of your investment.
  3. Benefits are distributed across three key areas:
    1. Operational cost reduction through improved efficiency and reduced workplace incidents (92% of total benefits)
    2. Revenue increase through productivity and quality improvements (7% of total benefits)
    3. Additional cost savings through reduced maintenance and operational issues (1% of total benefits)
  4. Total benefits are calculated using a proven Return on Investment (ROI) multiplier of 1.24, with the net benefit determined by subtracting your initial investment from the total projected returns.

Research-Backed Results

Our calculator is based on two complementary studies: “Estimating the financial benefits of employers’ occupational health and safety expenditures” (2023) and “A systematic review of occupational safety and health business cases” (2009). These studies analyzed 26 international case studies focusing on workplace improvement initiatives, establishing a reliable Return on Investment (ROI) framework. The research demonstrates an average ROI multiplier of 1.24, confirming that investments in workplace improvement and automation consistently deliver positive financial returns.
