Introduction

Safety in the workplace is a fundamental right for all employees, regardless of their profession. However, certain occupations inherently carry greater risks than others, exposing workers to potential injuries and fatalities. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) meticulously monitors workplace safety across the United States, identifying industries with the highest rates of workplace accidents and fatalities. At Lockamy & Associates, we are committed to advocating for the rights of workers in high-risk professions and ensuring they receive the legal representation they deserve.
