Defective Equipment

Employers have a responsibility under The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations which came into force in 1998 to ensure that all work equipment is maintained in good working order and is suitable and safe for the job in hand.

Work equipment means any machinery, appliance, apparatus, tool or installation used at work including mobile equipment and has been held to include a postman’s bicycle, hand held power tools, ladders and fork lift trucks.

If you have been involved in an accident at work and suffered an injury because your employer has not complied with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations then you may be entitled to pursue a claim for compensation.
