The value of a human life is truly unfathomable and must be protected at all costs. Notwithstanding there are financial repercussions to consider if a tragic incident results in a fatality on your premises. This is especially applicable if any negligence has been established as a causation to the incident. Sanctions arising from health and safety violations, lapsed or absence of documentation or any general negligence on the part of employees or management can total to a cost of US$ 129,336.
