The answer

The company is religiously accountable for worker injuries if they result from its negligence or failure to provide safety measures. In such a case, it is obligated to compensate them for the harm they suffered. However, if it has provided safety measures and has not fallen short, then it bears no responsibility and is not required to compensate the workers.
