Inadequate Training
When an employer fails to provide adequate instruction, supervision, or training, they create a dangerous work environment. An injury resulting from operating unfamiliar machinery, performing complex manual tasks, or handling hazardous substances without proper knowledge is a direct failure of your employer's duty of care.
At Dorians Solicitors, we hold employers accountable for injuries caused by this breach of duty .

Employer's Duty: Instruction and Supervision
Employers have a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to provide adequate training . Claims often succeed by proving:
Failure to demonstrate how to correctly operate machinery and equipment.
Not providing essential safe manual handling training.
Insufficient instruction on emergency procedures or hazard controls.
Training records that are incomplete, outdated, or non-existent.
Why Choose Dorians Solicitors Ltd?
Proving that a lack of training caused a specific injury can be complex, especially if the employer fabricates records after the accident. Your experienced lawyer will rigorously examine training logs, witness statements, and workplace practices to establish the history of negligence. We fight hard to ensure your compensation covers all losses, including retraining costs if your injury forces a career change. We offer this specialist service on a No Win No Fee basis, and can secure interim payments for financial relief.
Crucial Evidence: Protect Your Claim
The evidence you gather immediately following an accident is vital to proving your case. We strongly advise you to:
Report the Incident:
Ensure the accident is immediately logged in the workplace Accident Book.
Identify Training Gaps:
Note what training you believe was missing or incomplete for the task you were performing.
Secure Witness Details:
Get names and phone numbers of any colleagues who are also untrained or who saw the incident.
Request Records:
We can help you legally request copies of your training documents from your employer.
