• Kansas City Dock Workers Should Know their Rights after a Workplace Accident

View All

Many Kansas City workers face difficult and dangerous circumstances on the job.

Many Kansas City workers face difficult and dangerous circumstances on the job. Last year, a case of two deaths of transit workers in Houston, Texas highlighted the dangerous conditions that some city employees face every day.
In the first case, a Houston bus driver died after a bus accident over the summer. The bus driver was on his way back to the city garage and driving an empty bus. No one else was aboard.
The second case involved a worker striking his head on a support beam after putting his head outside the door of a slow moving rail car.
According to Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) website workers have certain rights that should be protected by their employers. City workers are no exception from these guidelines.
Workers should be able to expect safety on the job.
Workers should be trained in all aspects of their jobs.
Workers should be given safety training.
City and state workers are not covered by federal OSHA standards. States can develop their own worker safety regulations however. In the case of the two 2011 Houston deaths, the investigation is up to state and local law enforcement entities to investigate.
Injured state or city workers cannot just call in an OSHA investigation after a workplace injury. In cases such as these, the advice of an experienced Kansas City workplace injury attorney will be invaluable. If you have been injured on the job, regardless of who your employer may be, you deserve the right to work in a safe work environment and to have the latest safety training methods available to you.
