Faulty equipment

Faulty or defective equipment is a common cause of injuries in the work place. Following the implementation of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1992 your employer is under a duty to ensure that the equipment/machinery and vehicles you use at work are:-

• Suitable for their intended use;
• Safe for use, maintained in a safe condition and, this remains the case;
• Used only by people who have received adequate instruction and training; and
• Accompanied by suitable safety measures, eg protective devices, markings, warnings.

Sadly faulty equipment still causes injuries in the workplace and you might be entitled to compensation if your employer has been negligent.

The lawyers at we solicitors have years of extensive experience in representing the victims of negligence in the workplace and ensure that you get the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
