Victims of a work-related non-fault accident could claim for work injury compensation for the pain and loss of earnings they have suffered.
Employers have a duty of care towards their members of staff, and as such they should not only provide the suitable personal protective equipment but make sure that it is used in the appropriate areas of the workplace and in the correct way.
It is not enough to just provide the protective clothing, employers need to enforce the wearing of the equipment and its correct use too.
For example, a worker who sustains a personal injury at work because they were not wearing protective equipment, may still make a compensation claim against their employer if they were not told that using the items was mandatory and that neglecting to use them was a breach of the health and safety regulations.
Similarly, if an employee was aware that they had to use the personal protective equipment provided, but was not instructed on its correct use and was therefore injured despite adhering to the workplace's safety rules, they may also have a case against their employer.
However, if they had been provided with personal protective equipment, trained in its correct use, and clear signs or training meant that they were aware that it must be worn when undertaking a certain task or in a certain work area, then they would probably be found liable for their own injuries and be unable to receive a settlement.
