They are only to contact you regarding matters that affect the safety or mechanical operation of the property.

I’m currently reading The Book on Rental Property Investing and just upgraded to the Pro Membership on BiggerPockets with the hopes of networking and learning as much as I can.A quick background: I’m currently a safety manager for the one of the nation’s premier electrical contractors.

I can't speak for your state but in Ohio as I understand it unless the employer is negligent (like knowingly removing a safety guard off a piece of equipment) the employee is not supposed to be able to sue for compensation beyond what Work Comp pays.
