Please read and understand what is required in the response. If you can't provide what is asked, DO NO RESPOND. This question involves reading the following passage, choosing one side of the debate, and then defending your choice by providing your rationale. Read the following passage and then decide who is at fault: the company or the employee. Our truck driver, Ben, injures his back while tying down the tarps on his flatbed trailer. He has to use four-inch straps to secure the load, and then has to cover the load with tarps which require the use of bungee cords (rubber straps) to secure the tarp. Either defend the company and decide that the root cause for the back injury was due to the failure of the employee to properly follow the processes and procedures, or defend the employee and decide that the root cause of the back injury was due to the failure of the company to provide a hazard-free workplace. To successfully answer this question, you might have to do a bit of research. Consider the following sources: the OSHA standards, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules, and the textbook. Use APA Style to insert appropriate citations into your response. Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

The person also failed to follow the detailed intrcution for executing the certain tasks. Thus there is a negligence from the driver ( employee) side. In OSHA reporting for accident investigation, the proposed team can highlight the accident scenario and the failure of meeting instructions from the employee side.Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) rules, also describes about safety regulations in handling hazardous products while loading and unlaoding to a vehicle.
On human ground considering financial capability and an asset to organisation, the employee can be given proper insurance amount plus some financial support to his family till he got recovered.
