Factory employers have a duty of care to ensure the safe working conditions of their staff as outlined in the Health and Safety at Work Regulations Act 1974 and then 1992’s ‘Six-Pack’ health and safety regulations designed to help workers.
Examples of how your factory employer is required to provide a safe working environment include:
- Providing adequate training.
- Ensuring the right safety equipment is provided.
- Maintaining machinery and regularly checking for faults.
- Making sure the working environment is free of hazards that could cause a slip, trip or fall.
Here are some of the more common factory claims MJW Law has helped employees successfully recoup compensation from:
