- They must take reasonable care to prevent the possibility of a chemical injury
- They must provide a safe working environment, safe premises, suitable materials and equipment
- In some circumstances, an employer can be strictly liable in law for a chemical injury
- Employers also have a legal duty to take out Employer's Liability Insurance
The Employers duty means that for the safety of Employees who handle or work with toxic or corrosive chemicals:-
- They must provide training in handling or working with dangerous chemicals, in order to prevent a chemical injury - so even if you think that the accident was your fault, you may not have had proper training or instruction and your employer may still be at fault
- They should carry out risk assessments and take steps to avoid identified risks that could result in a chemical injury
- They should provide masks, gloves, protective clothing or other equipment necessary to avoid a chemical injury
