Every workplace is required to meet regulations for safety and fair treatment.

When you go to work, it’s your right that you return home at the end of the day healthy and safe – free of injury. Even when you’re confronted with threatening situations or environments in the workplace, your employers are obligated to make sure that the environment is safe for those who enter and that appropriate action has been taken to minimize the risk of serious injury. That can mean providing protective equipment, proper training while maintaining safe working hours, and complying with OSHA and the Ohio revised code. 

As sad (and shocking) as it might be, many employers don’t get it. Even in the 21st century. Last year alone, OSHA (The Occupational Safety & Health Administration) issued nearly 40,000 citations for the violation of workplace safety regulations. An 8th of those claims came about as the result of someone dying on the job. It’s estimated that nearly 3 million Americans are injured on the job each year.
