Your employer owes you a duty of care to ensure that you are safe at work. The law in this area is very comprehensive.
You clearly have to look out for yourself too, but your employer is responsible for ensuring that your workplace, systems
of work are safe, and that your fellow employees don't injure you.

MAKE SURE YOUR ACCIDENT IS PLACED IN THE ACCIDENT BOOK AND YOU CHECK THE DETAILS ARE CORRECT!!
