Accidents at work - Adequate training

Many thousands of people are injured in the workplace every day. Despite huge strides made during the last few decades in improving safety, accidents at work are all too common.

Here we deal with the training requirements that employers must comply with. 

An employer is under a primary duty to avoid the need for employees to undertake any operations which involve a risk of suffering injury.

The employer must also undertake  specific assessments of operations which involve risk of injury.

Where there a risk of industrial injury it is necessary for the employer to consider what equipment or plant can be used to replace manual work.

Employers are also required to reduce the risk of industrial  injury by providing employees with proper training, instruction and supervision and if personal injury is suffered as a result of the employer failing in this duty - then compensation may be payable to any injured worker.

In summary the failure of an employer to  carry out the provisions will mean that an they are liable to pay compensation for any personal injury sustained by an employee.
