Employers have an obligation to provide their employees with a safe work environment. This includes assuring employees and visitors that walkways are visible, deiced, free from obstruction, and that all unnecessary hazards are removed so as to decrease the likelihood of injury. In workplaces where dangerous materials are handled or heavy machinery is used, it is the responsibility of the employer to provide proper safety measures in order to prevent worker injuries. Proper safety measures include adequate training for equipment use, appropriate disposal of wastes, and fail safes put into place in the event that hazardous materials are mishandled.

Injuries sustained while on-the-job can range from minor to major, but all instances where an employee is injured while at work are still significant. For those individuals who do sustain injury, it is the responsibility of employers to provide medical care for them. However, employers often look for the most cost effective path to take when maneuvering Harrisburg work injuries and as such injured employees may often find themselves on the short-end of the stick when it comes to receiving adequate medical care and recovery time.
