The recent earthquakes and tsunamis in Japan have reminded us that even when the completely unexpected happens, employers are under a duty in just about every country in the world to take necessary actions to reduce workplace risks and ensure their employees are safe. It’s important to act quickly to reduce damage, and even to save lives.
