The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) require employers to ensure that all equipment is in good working order, to a standard suitable for its intended use, and that the equipment is used safely at all times.
You are entitled to adequate information, instruction and training on the equipment you use as part of your job, and only those who have had adequate training are allowed to use the equipment.
‘Using’ the equipment could also mean starting or stopping, resetting, maintaining, repairing, cleaning, moving or modifying it.
If the type of equipment used in your workplace is potentially dangerous, a detailed risk assessment must be carried out by your employer to consider all of the possible dangers to staff and take all reasonable steps to minimise the risks to you and your colleagues.
If your employer has failed in their duty of care as outlined in PUWER, it means they were negligent and you may be entitled to compensation.
Further legislation came into force in 2005 (the Control of Vibrations at Work Regulations) which requires the assessment of the health risks arising from regular exposure to high levels of vibration through the use of hand-held power tools such as grinders, chainsaw or road breakers.
If you believe you have suffered an accident as a result of a breach of these regulations, you may have a valid Dangerous Machinery Claim.
PSR Solicitors are recognised experts in defective equipment accident compensation claims in North Wales & Cheshire.

Common accidents include trapped fingers or hands, eye and ear injuries, and electric shocks. Our expert Defective Equipment Solicitors can help you with any type of workplace injury claim.
Some common causes include:
Faulty or defective work equipment could include anything as simple as an office chair collapsing to an industrial furnace exploding. The question of whether negligence led to the accident often depends on the quality and condition of the equipment itself and the system of inspection and maintenance of the company.

As part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 employers have a legal obligation to provide you with a clean and safe working environment, proper equipment, and also to ensure that all their staff have been fully trained on all aspects of their job.
This includes being fully trained in health and safety at work.
If they fail in their duty to look after you whilst you are working for them then they can be held to account by the law. No one should ever have to go to work and suffer an injury or death. The laws that apply to defective equipment in the workplace include:
For a workplace injury claim to be successful, you need to prove that you were injured, and that your employer was at fault. The key pieces of information you will need to support your claim are:
In some cases, you may be asked to undergo an independent medical examination to assess your injuries.
Our specialist Defective Machinery Injury Solicitors can help you collect and document all evidence related to your claim. PSR Solicitors have been supporting individuals through the legal process of making a claim against their employers for many years, with a high rate of success. Contact us today to assess your Dangerous Machinery Claims.
If you have been injured as a result of an accident involving defective or dangerous machinery, you may be entitled to compensation for a number of expenses and damages.
Firstly, you will receive an amount of compensation for your pain, suffering, and loss of amenity (PSLA), also known as your general damages. This is calculated depending on the type and severity of your injury, in addition to the effects it has had on your life.
Your compensation for a dangerous equipment injury will also include special damages. This is compensation for financial losses and expenses, past and future, that you have incurred because of your injury at work. These may include:
Calculating the amount of compensation you deserve can be complex, and having expert legal counsel by your side is crucial. We can help you find out how much you could be entitled to, and to claim it from who was responsible for your injury.
When you are injured at work, it is perfectly within your rights to claim compensation for your pain, suffering, and other damages.
Employers are legally required to have a valid insurance policy, which is where your compensation for any injury will be paid out from. You should not be worried about hurting your employer’s company, as they will not be paying your compensation directly.
You are protected against retaliation by law. You cannot be dismissed, disciplined, or treated unfairly because of a legitimate compensation claim you have made for an injury suffered at work.
PSR Solicitors has years of experience liaising with employers and insurance companies to both secure high amounts of compensation and reduce the stress associated with the legal process. With our expert legal support, you can rest assured your job is safe.
