Work Accidents and Illnesses
People are employed in a variety of jobs, which range from manual through to office-based. Every workplace has its risks, some greater than others but whatever the job the employees expect to be safeguarded against these risks.
In Canada there is Health and Safety legislation that is designed to protect employees at work and reduce the risk of an accident and injury.
Employers have a duty of care to protect their employees against the risks of an accident or an illness that may arise from their job. They have an obligation to report any accidents and to pay company and/or statutory sick pay.
But if an employer fails to put safeguards in place or the existing ones are inadequate then this increases the risk of an accident.
