Abstract: In recent years, local prosecutors have initiated an increasing number of criminal actions in state courts against corporations and their supervisory employees for occupational injuries, particularly where a death occurs. Given the perceived inadequacy of state and federal OSHA criminal provisions, prosecutors are charging corporate employers and their individual officers, managers, and supervisors with crimes ranging from criminal negligence to murder under traditional state criminal statutes. The discussion below explores the basis of criminal liability against individual supervisors for work related injuries as well as the related question of corporate indemnification.
