Danger at work

Proposals to allow employers to report injuries at work only where the employee has been off for seven days could put workers at greater risk, APIL has warned

“This step is a real worry because it could make employers more blasé about workers’ safety,” says David Bott, president of the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers. The Health and Safety Executive aims to amend the Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 1995 (SI 1995/3163).
