Incidents of abuse and neglect in nursing home facilities frequently go unreported due to fear of retribution. Nursing home staff members fear retaliation that may result in termination. Residents and their family members fear that the nursing home resident may face additional abuse and neglect if incidents are reported to authorities.
Many popular pressure cookers have defective parts, unsafe designs or faulty safety mechanisms that can cause serious burns and injuries. Before using their pressure cookers, Nevadans should check the federal recall lists to see if their pressure cookers have been recalled or hazards have been reported. Hundreds of thousands of defective pressure cookers have been recalled over the years and numerous people have suffered accidents resulting in severe burns, permanent scarring, and psychological trauma. Manufacturers and designers of defective pressure cookers or their components may be liable for damages to injured victims in personal injury lawsuits.
Private security systems can fail for a number of reasons, exposing homeowners, employees, and customers to the risk of personal injuries and significant harm. Many homes and business security systems provide a false sense of security that can evaporate the moment danger presents itself whether that threat is a fire caused by a malfunctioning machine or an armed intruder intent on causing harm.
Workers can suffer serious injuries and death in confined workspaces that have insufficient oxygen, toxic fumes, combustible materials and tight spaces that can trap workers inside. The U.S. Department of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires all employers to provide safe work environments for workers, including confined spaces that present specific dangers. Confined spaces can be present in almost any occupation, but they are commonly found within the construction, mining, utility and drilling industries where workers often have to work underground. Confined spaces include, but are not limited to, areas such as manholes, storage tanks, silos, pits and vats, storage bins, sewers and tunnels, underground utility vaults and pipelines.
