Workers have the right to be safe at work, and companies have responsibilities to employees in the event that they are harmed while undertaking work on behalf of the employer.
Practice this chapterWorkers have the right to be safe at work, and companies have responsibilities to employees in the event that they are harmed while undertaking work on behalf of the employer. Compared to other countries in the West, stringent and extensive employee protections came fairly late to the United States.
Up until 1959, for example, employers had the right to fire a worker without giving any reason. This concept, which was known as at-will employment , was applicable in all states.
