One of the first questions that arises when one begins to study fundamentals of industrial safety management is “Who should be responsible when a worker is injured?” Many would answer, “The employer, because the employer gave rise to the job and will profit from the production.” Adversely, what if employees deliberately commit acts that result in their injury as a result of violation of the industry's rules and regulations? Industrial work environments are often characterized by dynamic resources including interactions between mobile equipment and pedestrian workers. The importance of providing safe workplace has been reiterated by various studies because of the intrinsic hazard and risk factors that undoubtedly underlie every work situation and their negative impact on a company's overall performance. Safety and quality remain critical priorities in the context of improving industrial productivity and efficiency in today's industrial work environment.
