Today's post is no laughing matter. Everyday, workers are seriously hurt, maimed or killed because they put themselves at risk while on the job. While employers bear responsibility to provide a safe workplace and provide safety training when risks or hazards are present, employees must heed the warning signs. Sometimes, just using a little common sense might prevent an accident from happening.
Read the story covered by SafetyNewsAlert.com of how a man died as he allegedly tried to "Sneak a Leak" off the back of a sanitation truck in New Jersey. Perhaps he would be alive today if he had just "held it" until he could take a proper bathroom break. His family is suing, claiming that the judge made the wrong decision on the case, and they should be paid death benefits under workers' compensation. What do you think?
