Are your employees safe at the workplace? Have you taken all the legal measures to prevent a fire or a serious accident? If your answer is “I don’t know” or “I haven’t had time to deal with it,” it’s time to shift your priorities.
For an employer, ignoring occupational safety standards not only poses risks for the business but also carries criminal liability. In the event of a fire resulting in casualties or significant damage, authorities will check whether you have met all the legal requirements. If not, you could face huge fines, suspension of business operations, or even prison time.
