Florida OSHA Violation Lawyers

When you go to work every day, you place a significant degree of trust in your employer to provide a safe, healthy workplace. Unfortunately, that trust can be breached by a negligent employer who commits OSHA violations or provides an unsafe workplace due to negligence, ignorance, or improper training.

The Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) exists to protect worker safety and enforce safety and health regulations. OSHA heavily regulates the workplace, concentrating on health hazards such as the handling of toxic chemicals, disposal of toxic waste, use of machinery, and more. Though OSHA rules are strict, all too often employers are lax in their enforcement. Whether through ignorance, laziness, or cheapness, too many employers fail to protect their workers and force them to work in unsafe conditions rife with OSHA violations. The consequences can be brutal to workers whose very lives depend on these regulations – in a split second, an occupational injury due to an unsafe workplace can strip a worker of his or her job, dignity, health, and even financial security.

If you are aware of an OSHA violation in your workplace, immediately report it to your supervisor and seek recourse. Your employer is not allowed to harass, demote, or fire you due to an OSHA complaint. Even if your comments are taken into account, consider hiring a Florida workers’ compensation attorney to represent your claim and help you be compensated for your injuries. The workers’ compensation system is different from normal civil court, and must be navigated by a skilled Florida workers compensation attorney who both understands personal injury and the ins and outs of workers comp.
