FELA requires that a railroad company provides its workers with a safe work environment. This includes having enough manpower, properly-functioning tools and equipment, periodic inspections of work areas and the enforcement of safety rules. If an injured railroad worker can show that the company failed in any of these respects, fault can thus be established, and the worker will be entitled to compensation.
