Legal Boots

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:16:20 GMT

http://www.conscious.co.uk/site/library/employmentlib/faulty_work_boots_employer_not_liable.html The House of Lords ruled, in the case of Fytche v Wincanton Logis tics, that an employer’s absolute obligation to maintain or repair protective equipment, under the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, does not extend to a situation where an employee suffers an injury at work doing something that the equipment was not provided to protect against. Mr Fytche was employed by Wincanton Logistics plc to drive a 32-ton bulk tanker, collecting milk from farms. Every six months he was provided with a pair of steel-capped safety boots to protect him against injury from heavy, sharp or hard objects. During a spell of exceptionally cold weather, his lorry became stuck in the snow. The company’s standard instructions were that in such circumstances the driver should use the telephone in the cab to call for help and then wait to be rescued. Mr Fytche decided to try to free the vehicle and as a result of his efforts, he suffered frostbite. This was worse on one foot because, unbeknown to him, one of his safety boots had a tiny hole in it which allowed water to get in. Mr Fytche’s employer was unaware of the hole in the boot. However, an employer can be found liable for defects they know nothing about and which are not immediately obvious. Mr Fytche brought proceedings against his employer, originally alleging negligence because he should have been provided with boots that would protect his feet in freezing conditions. The company pointed out that Mr Fytche’s duties did not require him to walk for long periods in snow and ice and so he dropped this claim and instead claimed that his employer was in breach of its statutory duty to ensure that personal protective equipment was ‘maintained …in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair’. The County Court judge dismissed the claim on the grounds that the boots were not provided to protect against water, snow or frostbite. The Court of Appeal, on a majority decision, dismissed an appeal. Mr Fytche then took his case to the House of Lords and lost again, by a 3 to 2 majority. Lord Hoffman summed up the logic of the ruling, pointing out that Mr Fytche was not expected to do anything which required him to have waterproof boots. An employer has a duty to maintain personal protective equipment so that it provides suitable protection against the relevant risk but does not have a duty to do repairs and maintenance which have nothing to do with its function. One of the dissenting law lords, however, argued that the boot had to be suitable overall, ‘not just in relation to the identified risk’ and there is no reason why suitability should not include being in good general repair. What a thrilling court case that must have been!!! Fortunately a lot of the boots sold here would have been suitable. "they should have gone to Active Workwear "

HSE

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 15:10:40 GMT

Published Date: 08 January 2009 In a report commissioned by the Health and safety Executive ( HSE ) it was calculated that use of Personal Protective Equipment ( PPE ) in the workplace could result in saving £157 million in accident costs. A large proportion of this figure is attributable to foot injuries, around £85 million which could be prevented by using the most appropriate safety footwear. Goliath Footwear, leaders in workplace footwear, have developed a new style to better cater for workers in high risk work environments. Predominantly the domain of the ‘ rigger boot’ , construction sites require the highest level of safety where 40% of accidents occur in this sector alone. Alongside the full Goliath safety range, the new EL180 SIZ Safety Combat Boot sets the trend for construction workers who require a greater level of safety combined with comfort and convenience. The lace up / side zip combination gives the wearer a good secure fit but with easy donning and doffing, enjoyed by the traditional builders rigger. This new solution aims to help cut the level of foot injuries and associated costs identified by HSE . Paul Bowkett of Goliath Footwear states, ‘the use of appropriate PPE is clearly essential, our products are designed and developed to meet the specific needs of the workplace whether it be construction, foundry or any other workplace. This new product initiative aims to raise the level of safety on work sites and offers a viable economic solution for construction companies.‘ The HSE report highlighted that whilst the attitude towards PPE is improving, 60% of accidents, where PPE was not used could have been prevented or alleviated by using it. It was recommended that the HSE must develop more understanding of why people are failing to use PPE .
