Your Employer’s Responsibilities

Being injured on the job can be a life-changing event, costing you money in the form of lost wages and medical bills, and putting your family’s safety and future at risk. It is important as an employee to realize the responsibility your employer has to provide you with a safe work environment, and that ultimately the blame for your work accident may rest on him or her.

If you or someone you love has not been receiving the workers’ compensation that he or she deserves following a workplace accident, the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. may be able to help. Contact us today by calling 800-346-5529 to learn more about what we can do for you.

Employer Responsibility

Since it was first established in 1970, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has held employers responsible for the safety of their work environment and their employees. OSHA requires employers to:

  • Provide workers with a safe work environment, free from serious hazards
  • Regularly examine the workplace to ensure that it meets OSHA standards
  • Make sure that employees use safe, well-maintained tools
  • Provide color codes, posters, and signs to alert employees to potential dangers in the workplace
  • Create safe operating procedures to ensure the safety of their workers, and educate the employees about these operating procedures
  • Provide OSHA-mandated medical examinations and training

If your employer has failed to live up to his or her responsibility, leading to your injury, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
