Court sets boundary on PUWER liability

摘要

THE COURT of Appeal has overturned a judgment that could have made employers liable for injuries caused by equipment they did not own or install at sites over which they have no control. A county court judge had previously upheld a personal injury claim under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) against a local authority after one of its employees fell off a ramp outside a private home.
