by way of interest tort law including negligence has come a long way since the 19th and early 20thC
generally an employee injured at work would be considered not entitled to compensation as they had "voluntarily assumed risk"
should you decide to hang by a rope painting the side of a building, regardless of whether your employer had directed you to do so, it was on your own head for doing so if you fell breaking your spine
naturally some rather significant court cases in all jurisdictions changed the view and union movements pushed for various forms of compensation funds be established
anyway, youll find some info by googling the key concepts for the jurisdiction youre interested in
