How Many Admin Hours Are Lost to Manual Paper Safety Form Processing Each Week?

“Each week, companies lose approximately 5 to 10 hours of administrative time to manual paper safety form processing. This significant time drain results from the inefficiencies inherent in handling physical documents, such as data entry errors and the need for physical storage and retrieval.” 

According to industry reports, the cost of paper safety forms includes not only physical supplies but also the lost productivity and potential errors that can arise from manual handling.
