Employers' Duty of Care

Employers' Duty of Care refers to the legal and moral obligation that employers have to ensure the safety and well-being of their employees while at work. This includes providing a safe work environment, proper training, and necessary equipment, as well as addressing potential hazards. Employers must take reasonable steps to prevent accidents and illnesses, and if they fail to do so, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries or damages. In essence, it’s about protecting workers from foreseeable risks while they perform their job duties.
