In almost half of the accidents involving head injuries, employees knew of no actions taken by employers to prevent such injuries from recurring

    13. DUTY OF CARE There is a legal requirement for industry to be responsible for managing the workplace health and safety. This requirement, expressed as the "Duty of Care" principle, is the basis of the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1983. Implementing the Duty of Care principle means planning for prevention of workplace accidents, injuries and illness.

    14. Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1983 Employers have a "Duty of Care" to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of employees and others. Employers must take all practicable measures to control risks against injuries in the workplace. Employees have an obligation to co-operate with their employers on health and safety matters. Failing to comply with the "Duty of Care" provisions of the Act is an offence.
