Job site safety is important.
Job site safety is important. At the end of the work day a proper clean up is required. Environments where there is not a path to walk are dangerous on construction sites and in warehouses.
Lately I have taken several cases in which the employee is fired due to complaints about a lack of safety at work. In today's environment with warehouse quotas and workers rushing to get their jobs done a disregard for safety is reaching a new level.
Employees fired due to safety complaints can file wrongful termination lawsuits. They can also file charges with OSHA.

Riverside Court of Appeals
This is the Court of Appeals in Riverside. I was here today arguing an appeal.
The wrongful termination case involved a truck driver not allowed to get off his truck for in excess 28 days. He did not get a day off during the drive. The truck did not stop other than for refueling. The truck lacked bathroom facilities, or more than an 8 by 8 place he could sleep while the other driver drove. The truck driver was never put back onto the schedule after he requested, "Home time" and got off the truck for a few days after asserting his right to get a day off in seven.
This is one of the most outrageous labor abuses I have seen in some time. The employer is CRST.
