Some employers put tricky wording into contracts.  Many time these contracts are signed on the first day as a prerequisite of being hired.  

These contracts contain a lot of different wording and , sometimes, they may contain loop holes that try to exonerate the employer from any wrong doing or liability for anything that an employee does or has happen to them during the course of their job.  

Many times,  these contracts are illegal and do not work.  An employer is responsible for their workers well-being.  If you have been injured while on the job, and an employer is using tricky wording to claim that they are not reliable,  please contact an attorney to evaluate your case.

Two workers became trapped on a scaffolding over 16 stories into the air. This event happened in Atlanta last week. 

Once emergency officials were notified,  fire fighters arrived on the scene.  The fire fighters used harnesses and rappelling gear to rescue the workers.  Fire fighters attached themselves to the workers, and the rappelled down the building to the ground.

No injuries were reported for this accident.  Because of the professional response by the fire fighters,  an accident was likely prevented.

While on the job,  an employer has a legal and moral obligation to take the necessary steps to ensure a safe work environment.  The safety of the workers should be a top priority for any company.

Time after time,  it seems that a workers quality of life and health is harmed because a company takes an easy cost cutting approach to certain aspects of the job.  Sometimes proper training does not place to better educate the work force.  Many times,  proper safety equipment is not used,  instead outdated or broken equipment is relied on.  

These short-cuts are not the actions of a responsible company.  Do not become a victim of work place injury and become aware of the possible injuries that can occur while on the job.

A trench collapse in Texas has injured a worker.  The worker was trapped in the trench from 30 to 45 minutes as the other workers scrambled to get the man to safety.

The worker was a part of a project to install sewer lines in the trench.  

Confusion is occurring over the cause of the accident or events leading up to it.  Officials are hoping to figure out how the worker ended up in the trench or if he was ordered to get in.  A investigation should have occurred, however the trench that the man fell into has already been covered up.
