Definition

  • Employee Protection in the Workplace Employee protection and workplace safety address the question of who is responsible for ensuring that employees have protection from various dangers on the job. While employees certainly bear some responsibility for their own protection and safety, the employer may be held responsible for not only providing protective equipment and information but also ensuring that employees properly use that protection.
