Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Employers cannot completely absolve themselves from liability for workplace injuries by simply having employees assume the risk. In some cases, employers' negligence or failure to provide a safe working environment can still result in legal action and compensation for injured employees. Additionally, employees cannot be coerced into assuming the risk of hazardous work and employers have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace.
