Employers have a legal duty to provide a safe place of work, a safe system of work, proper equipment, proper training, proper clothing and anything else that is reasonably necessary for someone to carry out their job.

The duty is so strict that most accidents at work can be attributed to some breach of this statutory duty. The law makes it extremely difficult for an employer to escape liability for an accident to his employee, whatever the circumstances. So even if you are unsure as to whether or not the accident was your fault you should get in touch with us.
