Employers have a duty to carry out regular health and safety assessments of working conditions and equipment in order to ensure the safety of their employees.
Employers must:
- Provide proper equipment and adequate training for all their employees
- Rectify any problems or issues that arise following assessment
- Ensure that adequate safety measures are in place
- Keep the workplace free of obstacles
- Deal with bullying and harassment.
Where the employer has been negligent or breached his/her duty of care causing an accident to the employee, he/she is liable to pay compensation.
