SeaWorld of FL v. Perez, 748 F.3d 1202 (D.C. Cir. 2014)

We now return to the SeaWorld citation: As you have seen, an employer can be cited for both violations of standards and violations of the general duty clause, including a willful level citation. This case is about risk in a dangerous entertainment occupation. The underlying question is: When should workers be allowed to assume these risks? Not surprisingly, the case found its way into the courts.

The text of the case case is not included in these materials. Please go to Westlaw or Lexis and read it now. SeaWorld of FL v Perez, 748 F.3d 1202 (D.C. Cir. 2014).
