So you think that employers are not responsible for their employees? Turn in your liberal membership card.
OK, lets try this on for size.
I Hire a young man to mow my lawn. I am now his employer.
He is to use my lawn mower so I have to insure that the mower is safe for him to use. It has to be gassed up and in working condition.
I need to show the young man the area he is to cut and point out any area where he may have a problem, ditches or hidden junk in the yard that is under the grass. If I know of a below ground yellow wasp colony I need to tell him to stay away from that area, if the neighbors have pit bulls that can jump the fence I need to alert him to that.
I need to outfit him with ear muffs if the mower is very loud and if the temperature is in the 90's insure he has a source of water.
What does all this mean, I have to insure that the employee is informed of any danger on the job, to give him safe equipment to use, to give him protective ear muffs and a source of water.
Actually, I do not have to do any of this, but, if I just turn him loose and he falls in that ditch or gets in trouble from the swam of yellow jackets, I may be sued up the you know.
One has to protect themselves and their employees from harm or law suit on either side.
What is the problem with that.??
