An employer can & should take measures to help keep their workers safe at work. There are lots of simple ways that employers can do to keep workers safe. It is not always clear who is legally responsible, or liable for an accident. You may think that you are at fault, or that it was 'just an accident' that caused your injury.
In some cases it will be very clear that an employer is at fault and therefore liable for the accident. Many more cases will be less clear.
There are many rules and regulations which an employer must comply with in order to protect the safety of workers. The rules are far too detailed to cover in this guide which is why legal advice is usually needed to establish whether an employer is likely to be held liable for an injury sustained at work.
Even in cases where a worker is partly at fault, a claim against the employer may still be possible.
We always recommend that if you have been injured at work you should take expert legal advice to establish if there has been a breach of duty. Even if it appears that you are at fault, don't assume that no claim can be made.

The purpose of this insurance is to pay any compensation awarded following an accident at work claim.
This means that the compensation and costs of making a claim are paid by the insurance company rather than the actual employer.
It is important to note, however, that injured worker is not automatically entitled to receive compensation.
The purpose of Employers' Liability Insurance is to ensure that there is money available to pay any compensation claim which is successfully made against the employer.
Not all injured workers receive compensation. This is because, for a claim to be successful, the injured worker must prove that the injury was caused in some way by the fault or breach of duty of the employer.

SLIP & FALLS.
A recurrent example is a slippery floor without a proper warning sign. But these types of accidents can also be caused by broken sidewalks, debris in a hallway, and damaged stairwells.
Property owners must also ensure there are no toxic substances on the grounds such as asbestos and lead paint.
At a minimum, they are expected to ensure any visitors are made aware of the danger present.
Adhering to the fire code is another important obligation of property owners.
They can be held responsible for the damages if faulty gas pipes, inappropriate wiring, or something similar led to a fire that resulted in severe burns and significant property damage.
Finally, if someone was within their rights to be on the property, the owner is responsible for supervising any animals on the property.
