Safety rules that are violated could cause a slip-and-fall injury. For example, ramps must be at least 18 inches wide and consist of planking at least two inches thick or be made of metal of equivalent strength. Failure to meet the mandatory width and length of a ramp places workers at risk of slipping or falling. If a worker suffers an injury from falling off an improperly sized ramp they may be able to file a lawsuit under New York Labor Law 241 (6).
