All Employers have a duty to take reasonable steps to protect your safety whilst at work. They must hold insurance so that they can meet any claims that are brought against them for their negligence and they are not allowed to sack you because you have sustained an injury. If you have been injured due to faulty equipment, inadequate training, or the negligence of an incompetent work colleague, then you may well be entitled to claim for personal injury and loss of earnings.
