Employers’ Liability (Defective Equipment) Act 1969

An employee, injured in the course of employment by a machine defect, no longer has to prove that his employer was negligent. The employer is strictly liable even though a third party such as a manufacturer, whether or not identified, is at fault. The if employer’s right of recovery, any, against a manufacturer is subrogated to the employers’ liability insurer.
