Faulty Safety Equipment Injury Claim

Poor Safety Equipment Compensation Claim

Many work related injuries are caused by faulty or defective equipment and your employer is required by law to ensure all equipment is inspected regularly and maintained in safe working order. Inadequate safety equipment often leads to serious injury and sadly even death. Examples of faulty safety equipment are:

  • Faulty ladders or scaffolding
  • Electric shock from poorly wired equipment
  • Cuts, wounds, crushes and amputation due to poorly fitted or missing guards
  • Foreign objects in the eye due to inappropriate safety goggles
  • Injury caused by poor or inadequate training

Duty of Care

The law states that your employer has a duty of care to you and your colleagues. This means that it is the employer's responsibility to ensure that your work environment is safe and that you have all the equipment needed to operate safely. The employee does not need to provide their own safety equipment.

Also, if you bring a hazard or danger to the attention of your employer, it is their legal responsibility to take action. This might include ensuring that damaged or broken safety equipment is repaired.

 

Adequate training

Your employer is obliged to provide you with adequate training for the safety of you and the people around you.
