WRT obesity, another potential scenario which strikes fear into the very hearts and minds of employers everywhere, and their insurers, is the myriad problems with evacuation of the obese in a disaster and with getting them up and out. Same story, should the obese simply become injured or ill or otherwise incapacitated on the job. Why, I've heard of forklifts and cranes having to be used. Ask any rescue worker about this one!
But why is that the employers fault?
