At work, everyone expects to be safe as they perform their daily tasks. The employer is responsible for ensuring that their employees are safe as they conduct their work. However, in many workplaces, there are a variety of tools and machines used in the company's work that can potentially harm or kill an employee. For example, large food manufacturing plants use machines that shred and crush ingredients. These machines can also do the same to a human if they were to get caught in them. Other workplace hazards include improperly dried floors, forklifts, pallets of heavy cargo that can fall on an employee, dangerous chemicals commonly used in manufacturing processes, tools such as saws that can injure the user, noise pollution that can damage the hearing of workers, fire hazards, poor lighting, poor sanitation and a variety of other factors.

Injuries resulting from one of these factors can be horrific in nature, leading to disfigurement and loss of quality of life. They can also be potentially fatal if not given treatment right away. You may be entitled to compensation for the injuries that you recieved as a consequence of your employer not fulfilling their duty towards you.
