What is the Shar'i (Islamic legal) perspective on the responsibility of the company owner and its general manager for work-related injuries, and are they obligated to compensate the injured person according to state laws or Sharia, and to what extent is the company responsible for providing safety measures?

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.
