Question:

Randle worked at the Hide Tanning Company, which employed only two people. The company did not carry workers’ compensation insurance because the state law did not apply to very small firms. A large wooden vat of acid with an open top was mounted on a wooden stand six feet off the ground. Because the stand was old and rickety, the person working near it was afraid that it would collapse and spill the acid on them. An OSHA inspector cited the company for violation of the general duty clause. Two days after the citation, the vat broke, spilling acid on Randle. Randle sued the employer and introduced the citation as evidence of the company’s negligence. The company objected, claiming that OSHA inspections have nothing to do with suits for employer’s negligence. Is the company correct?
