Work Accident Legislation
Legislation to cover safety of employees in the workplace is contained in numerous statutes which may be used to support legal action for industrial injury claims however those most widely used are :-
- The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 which requires an employer to make an assessment of any foreseeable risk that an employee or others may be exposed to and take appropriate action to reduce that risk to a reasonably acceptable level.
- The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require employers to ensure safety in regards to maintenance of the workplace, ventilation, the temperature of indoor workplaces, lighting, cleaning and waste materials, room dimensions and space, the condition of floors and traffic routes, falling objects, washing facilities, escalators, doors and gates.
- The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 specify that so far as is reasonably practicable, each employer must avoid the need for his employees to undertake any manual handling operations at work which involve a risk. Where it is not reasonably practicable to avoid the need for manual handling, then a suitable and sufficient risk assessment must be carried out of all manual handling operations to be undertaken.
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 specifies that work equipment must be suitable for the purpose, adequately maintained, in good working order, and that information, instructions and training is provided and that there is protection against specified risks to health and safety.
- The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 state that every employer shall ensure that suitable personal protective equipment is provided to his employees who may be exposed to risk to their health and safety while at work. Such personal protective equipment that is provided must be assessed as being suitable and must be properly maintained. The employer must take all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal protective equipment provided to his employees is properly used.
