Actually you can.
This was a workplace OSHA violation. She can, and honestly should, sue. It would be like if I told a guy to go into an acid cloud with the wrong PPE, and then threatened him when he questioned me.
Even if the employee was not harmed, as the supervisor I placed him in harms way without proper equipment. A near miss (which is what this is hopefully going to be) can still lead to legal consequences.
Honestly, after what I have been hearing about the Dallas hospital, a number of people need serious legal penalties.
You mean it wouldn’t be considered workers’ compensation??? Of course they have workers’ comp or what exactly do they have in Texas?
