Dear Anonymous,
You can not sue your employer directly for a safety issue such as you describe. However, if your employer is not providing you with safety equipment as required by state law, they may be in violation of the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Act (IOSHA). Here is a link to the Indiana Department of Labor IDOL's website where you can file a complaint against your employer.
Best,
Chip Clark
