javascript and webworker

Why can't a javascript file in a WebWorker access document object, when a normal external javascript file can access the document object? Or can a WebWorker access a document object? Because in w3schools it is given that since webworkers are external javascript files, they cannot access the document object, window object, parent object.

It can't access the DOM because then browsers would have to add lots of complexity to ensure their DOM code was thread safe.
