Employers Liable for Any Risk not just a Reasonably Foreseeable Risk

 

1st October 2009

The issue of noise-induced hearing loss remains prevalent for many health and safety professionals in the UK, and the courts are still seeing their fair share of compensation cases being brought by employees, or former employees, for injuries or hearing loss caused by the noise levels in their workplace.

One such case was that of Baker v Quantum Clothing, which was heard in the Court of Appeal in May this year. The case was especially significant because it ruled that employers were liable for any risk that would give rise to injuries that existed, not just a reasonably-foreseeable risk, as was previously held.
