PRACTICE NOTES
Workplace PPE liability: negligence post-ERRA 2013, the role of the 1992 Regulations and PUWER, key authorities, and the pre-2013 breach of statutory duty regime
Post 1 October 2013
On 1 October 2013, section 69 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 (ERRA 2013) took effect. From that day, civil liability for workplace injuries no longer flows automatically from breach of a statutory duty unless the specific regulation expressly creates it. The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992, SI 1992/2966, contain no such route to civil liability.
