Can I claim compensation from my employer for injures caused by a lack of PPE and training?

[Cam]

I have had a accident at work broke two toes, one of which was ripped open. I have lost 3 weeks pay.

i dropped a big piece material on my foot and I was not provided with steel toe cap boots or gloves to grip the material so my grip slipped, hurt my hands and and I dropped the material injuring my foot because of a lack of PPE.

Can I claim compensation because of injuries because of a lack of training and PPE?

Thank you for your enquiry.

This must have been incredibly painful.

I am pleased to advise that based on the accident circumstances, you would be entitled to make a claim for compensation against your employer as they are duty bound to ensure that you have the appropriate PPE for the tasks you’re expected to undertake.
