Employer Responsibilities Under Illinois Law
Illinois law mandates that employers provide a safe workplace by offering proper safety training, maintaining equipment, implementing safety protocols, keeping workspaces hazard-free, and complying with state and federal regulations. Neglecting these duties puts workers at risk. If your accident resulted from an employer’s failure to meet these obligations, we can help hold them accountable.
