Employer's Liability (Defective Equipment) Act 1969

The Employer's Liability (Defective Equipment) Act 1969 (c. 37) is a short statute which makes employers strictly liable for defective equipment that causes any injury. The purpose was to ensure that employers fully insure their staff for all health and safety risks, and are encouraged to put in place preventative measures.
