Despite the differences in the activities workers and employees perform in their respective workplaces, there is one common idea that at the end of the day, they will return home. This basic idea assumes that workers and employees are able to perform their job safely, and that they should not lose their lives in the place where they go to earn a living.

Esta idea, tan básica y obvia, está respaldada por la confianza de realizar el trabajo de manera segura. Una persona trabajadora no debe perder la vida en el lugar en el que fue a ganársela.
