Legal Question in Personal Injury in Michigan

Storeowner's responsibilities

If a non-employee decides to enter an area of a store that states ''Restricted Area-Employees Only!'' AND she does not listen to a store employee's request to leave the storage room, what responsibilities does the store still have regarding her safety (if any.)? What are the store's obligations?
