It is an employer's legal responsibility to provide staff with the personal protection equipment (PPE) they need to carry out a task. If you have been left injured after tackling a job without being given the right equipment, you could be entitled to make a claim.

What are my employer's duties?

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is your employer's responsibility to ensure your safety by providing the correct protective equipment while carrying out work for them. Your employer must also carry out the following duties as a requirement of health and safety law:

  • Carry out regular risk assessments to identify the need for PPE
  • Provide training on the proper use of equipment
  • Enforce the wearing and use of PPE
  • Inspect and replace damaged PPE
  • Types of PPE injury

There is an almost limitless list of potential injuries caused by a failure to provide adequate PPE. The many years of experience we have in tackling personal protection injury claims has given us the skills to bring most cases to a successful conclusion. Common cases we have dealt with include:

How much can I expect to get for a PPE Claim?

The final Compensation award you can expect for an injury caused by being made to work without PPE equipment or due to working with inadequate protective equipment will comprise an element known as 'general damages' and an element of the compensation known as 'special damages'  - These two elements are also affected by a number of factors and of course, every case is individual in its own way. Certainly the most important item is the severity of your injuries and to what extent your injuries will influence your ability to lead an independent life and to return to work.

The two elements of any personal injury claim include:

  • General Damages - to compensate for the loss of amenity, pain & suffering
  • Special Damages - to compensate for financial losses or future costs incurred as a direct result of the injury

Our Accident at work Compensation Calculator will provide provisional guideline figures on how much compensation you may receive for the 'general damages' element of the final compensation award. However, it is always a good idea to consult one of our personal injury Solicitors who can help further on.
