The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is urging retail employers to implement safety measures to prevent workplace injuries during major sales events, including Black Friday.
The busiest shopping day of the year falls on Nov. 28 in 2014, and has been the scene of increasingly dangerous situations in the recent past, as consumers push and shove through crowded spaces to take advantage of holiday sales.
