Mr P had an injury at work through no fault of his own.
Some contractors had been doing some work at Mr P’s place of employment.
The contractors had left an open and exposed drain cover in an area that was used by employees.
Mr P fell down this hazard and suffered painful injuries to his foot.
Due to the fact that the injury was sustained through no fault of his own and a third party was responsible for his injuries Mr P was able to make a successful claim for compensation.
All employers have to be responsible for the health and safety of their employees.
Whether this responsibility takes the form of the employer taking charge of all the health and safety issues or whether the employer delegates the task to an appointed health and safety executive it doesn’t matter as long as someone is doing their best to provide the employees with the safe working environment they are entitled to.
