When an employer hires a worker it should ensure that the person is sufficiently trained, skilled and competent to perform his or her job, in the event that he or she is not and causes a colleague to suffer injury, a work accident compensation claim may follow.
A suitable candidate
When an employer recruits a person to perform a particular job, it should ensure that the candidate has suitable skills and aptitudes to safely and productively fulfil that role.
In the event that the candidate is changing careers and requires specific training for his or her new role, the employer should ensure that is provided, particularly if without training there is a heightened risk of a workplace accident occurring.
Reasonable care Generally, the rule is that employers must take reasonable care to ensure that workers are provided with skilled and competent colleagues. However, in high risk environments, such as construction, aviation, hospitals and fork lift truck work, there is extra impetus and obligation to ensure that new candidates are both suitably experienced and trained for their jobs.
Liability
In the event that workers suffer injury as a result of incompetent or untrained colleagues, it is likely that the employers will be considered liable for any work accident compensation claim made for pain, injury, losses and expenses incurred
