Lack of or Inadequate Protective Work Equipment

Your employer has a legal duty to provide a safe place of work and a safe system of work. 

In certain situations your employer must provide you with personal protective equipment, for example on building sites hard hats and safety boots must be worn and for some factory work, especially when your job involves working with machinery or chemicals protective clothing and safety goggles must be provided.

Under The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 employers must ensure that the equipment provided is suitable and properly maintained and replaced when necessary.

However, despite the Regulations thousands of workers in the UK are injured each year due to having inadequate personal protective clothing or equipment at work.  

If your employer has failed to provide the required protective equipment or has failed to provide training where necessary and you have suffered injury as a result you may be entitled to claim compensation.
