Health and Safety legislation is complex and varies from workplace to workplace. The law is changing all the time and different regulations are constantly coming into force.
The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992 are just one example. These place a strict obligation on an employer to make sure that working equipment is kept in efficient working order and good repair. If a workplace accident was caused by defective working equipment, the employer will automatically be liable for the accident.
A specialist solicitor will be eble to advise you about whether there may have been a breach of the regulations relevant to your workplace so that your claim is presented in the best possible way.
