Your Rights in the Workplace
As an employee, you have a right to a safe workplace so there are laws to protect you should an accident occur. Under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, employers must ensure workplace equipment is safe to use, regularly maintained, and fit for purpose. Where the employer fails to provide a safe workplace, you can claim compensation within three years of the accident
