Hi guys any H & S experts on here ?
A family member suffered a head injury at work due to a heavy steel gate being hit by a vehicle
which did not have its handbrake on.The gate had not been locked down properly by the supervisor
and hit this person in the face,causing fracrtued cheekbone.
This person was taken to hospital and still undergoes treatment 7 months after the event.
My question is this ….
Is it a legal requirement that this is reported to the health and safety executive ?
If so,is it the landowners responsibility,or the company in whose employment this person was in ?
I can go into more detail by pm if there are any members with a good knowledge of correct procedure.
