Right, forgive me buts its Monday, too early and I've not had enough coffee........can someone just confirm if I'm right in my thinking.... You cannot put on a document that an employee signs that states the the company can be exonerated of any blame of an employee has an accident? Isn't that what duty of care and vicarious liability is? Its the companies duty to ensure an employee is correctly supervised and follows their training??? Most of the time accidents are usually managerial faliures as its root cause. I may have also killed some brain cells at the Christmas do.....

No contract can exclude negligence resulting in personal injury or death and only the courts can determine if negligence occurred Ergo any piece of paper signed by an employee exonarating the employer has no legal standing so is a waste of time and effort to complete. http://forum.iosh.co.uk/posts/t127660-Minor-Injuries-Disclaimer

Always amazes me that people think there is such a thing as exoneration in the H&S genre.
