Courts Find That Some Employers Are Risking the Safety of Their Employees
It appears that the Courts in Florida have finally recognized that some employers are risking the safety and even the lives of their workers by failing to meet the OSHA standards allowing workers to remove safety guards and failing to properly train workers in the safe way to use dangerous tools and equipment. It is about time! The employers in Florida have been allowed to jeopardize the lives and limbs of their workers without accountability.
In the latest such case the Court found that a worker could sue his employer when his arm was crushed in a punch press machine when the guard was removed and he was instructed to dislodge a piece of metal in the press while it was still on.
