How Safe is Your Kansas City Workplace?; Nine Injured in Ohio Plant Explosion

At Roswold Law Group, we know everyone is at risk of a work related accident on any given day.  Just because you work at a place that isn't considered dangerous, that doesn't mean you can't suffer a serious injury in an on the job accident in Kansas City.  Granted there are jobs where workers are accepting a higher risk of injury than others when they punch in every morning.

It's at these places; plants, factories, warehouses, etc., where everyone must got the extra mile to make sure the work environment is safe for everyone.  Last week's explosion at an automotive plant in Ohio, which injured nine people is the perfect example of something going wrong when you least expect it.  The accident happened on Tuesday at the Faurecia Interior Systems Inc. in Toledo, Ohio.  All of the nine injured workers were taken to hospitals for treament.  Seven were treated and released.  Two others, having suffered serious injury were kept for observation but are not considered life threatening injuries.
