Criminal Penalties from Workplace Accidents and Safety Shortfalls

When companies do not prioritize a zero accident culture and fall short in one or more safety protection opportunity, the result may be a serious employee injury.  The injury itself was likely avoidable and by far the most important consequence may be a permanent, serious medical conditional for the employe.  In addition, most employers are aware that these injuries also cause mental trauma to co-workers, project delays, and additional financial impact.  What you may not know, however, is that these situations can also lead to criminal charges brought against the business owner.  Read about an example here and let us know how we can help take your safety program to the next level.
