An employer is not liable for injuries to an employee caused by what?

Negligence
Faulty equipment
Intentional harm
Regular course of work

The correct answer is: Regular course of work

Employers are not liable for injuries to employees caused by a regular course of work because it is considered a normal and expected risk of the job. A is incorrect because negligence would be the fault of the employer and they would be liable for any resulting injuries. B is incorrect because if the equipment is faulty, it is the responsibility of the employer to provide safe and functioning equipment to their employees. C is incorrect because intentional harm would be considered a separate issue and the employer could potentially face legal consequences for causing harm to an employee. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it is the only option that does not hold the employer responsible for the injuries.
