Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mainland Tools will not be liable as the harm was the result of reckless behavior on Carl's part. There may be workplace hazards or injuries for which the employer will not be held responsible under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). The three most common of these circumstances include the following: 1. Where the harm is the result of reckless behavior by an employee. 2. Where it is physically or economically impossible for the employer to comply with a safety requirement. 3. Where compliance with a requirement presents a greater harm than not complying (greater hazard defense).
