Health and Safety Law 2024

Section 69 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 made a fundamental change to Section 47, reversing laws that had been in place for more than a century, since 1898. A worker who is injured due to an employer’s breach of a statutory duty under health and safety at work regulations can now only succeed in a claim for work-related injury if they can prove it resulted from their employer’s negligence.
