Liability for Nassau County Industrial Accident
Employers in New York have a legal obligation to maintain their work sites in a reasonably safe condition. Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 654(a)(1), “each employer shall furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to his employees.” Manufacturing centers should take many different measures to protect workers from injury.
- All workers at these facilities should receive ample training on safety protocols.
- Employers should conduct a hazard assessment to identify the greatest sources of potential harm.
- Manufacturing sites should supply all their workers with adequate personal protective equipment.
Employers in New York can be liable for certain accidents where workers are injured. This may be the case if they allowed a worksite to be in an unsafe condition.
