A Northallerton example

A public-sector worker in Northallerton develops a musculoskeletal injury from repeated manual handling of heavy files and equipment without proper support or assessment. Employers' liability covers the compensation and the legal defence — the manual-handling exposure that even administrative work carries when heavy lifting goes unmanaged.

What employers' liability covers

Injure a worker on the job, or make them ill, and employers' liability is what pays their compensation and the legal defence — reaching former staff and diseases that take years to show. The law has required it of employers since 1969, at £5m minimum, £10m in practice, certificate on show.
