Although employers preach safety and train personnel regularly, injuries still occur due to employee neglect to work safely. When trained properly employees know how to work safely and should be held accountable when injured and found to be at fault. It has always been the employer who suffers the consequences when someone is hurt. I think it should be the employee that should also be penalized for the neglect on their part when the employer is doing it's part to promote safety both in engineering and work practice measures. This would be a wakeup call to employees to work safely. The employee must be clearly at fault for this idea to work.
