Work Injury
Each year there are more than four million workplace injuries and illnesses. Some injuries and illnesses cannot be foreseen or prevented, but many can be. Employers have a responsibility to maintain a safe work environment. This includes:
- Posting necessary hazard warnings
- Complying with state and federal laws
- Properly training employees
- Providing safe equipment
- Maintaining facilities and equipment
- Providing personal protective equipment (when necessary)
Failing to meet these requirements can result in tragic injuries or illness for employees.
