The other party can be deemed equally responsible for the injuries that were instructed by the other party. For there to be vicarious liability in respect of an employee, the traditional rule is that the act must be “in course of his employment”, which does not rule out negligent or even deliberate wrongs by the employee but excludes cases where the employee has gone off on a frolic of his own (Hill, 2005).

The incidents at Sunfield showcase three of the four main provisions of the act. First, it is an example of compliance, or lack thereof. Ohio does not have a state plan and companies in the state must comply with standards issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The innumerable citations issued to the company prove that the company failed to comply with these standards. Secondly, the named safety violations show that Sunfield was unable to keep their workplace free from recognized hazards. The company should have been aware of hazards in the workplace as well as the unsafe practices taking place. Lastly, the article highlights OSHA’s right to inspect workplaces. It also showed that OSHA can inspect and investigate a worksite if they have received complaints of unsafe work conditions. Overall, this article was able to highlight the bulk of the OSHA Act’s provisions and how those provisions work together to keep workplaces safe across the

The issue in this situation was whether or not the employee’s injury arose out of and in the course of employment. Worker’s compensation was the employee’s exclusive remedy.

In the court’s view, she was “doing no more than what a reasonable employer would expect from a reasonable employee in her position.” It did not matter that her acts on behalf of the employer were combined with personal acts and undertaken outside of work hours. The court would most likely rule in favor of the employee.

Failure to promptly report the injury. After the accident, you will have a deadline of 30 days to notify your employer of your injury. Do this promptly by yourself if your injury allows. Otherwise have another do this on your behalf.

Was a medical professional involved? Would a doctor or other medical professional (nurse, physical therapist, etc.) be willing to go on record as to the state and effects of the injury? This will probably carry more weight than anything outside of photographs.
