Health and safety legislation requires employers to reduce the risk of personal injury in the workplace by ensuring that employees receive adequate training, instruction and supervision. To function safely in the workplace employees must be knowledgeable about hazards in the workplace, their effects and how to avoid them. The failure to provide this information or inadequate training in the workplace can lead to serious accidents for which the employer may be held liable in a compensation claim.
Risk Assessment of Accidents
Almost all industrial processes have some risk attached and it is incumbent on employers to carry out a risk assessment which is necessary for even the most mundane operation that ostensibly seems to be relatively risk free. Employers are duty bound to ensure that any industrial process is carried out so far as is reasonably practicable in such a way as to reduce any identified risk and where manual handling is involved to mechanise the process so far as is reasonably possible. Clearly these processes will also require training and supervision if they are to be carried out safely.
