Duty of care means all employers should take steps to ensure their employees' health, safety and wellbeing, both physical and psychological, while performing work for your organization.
Not all employers are aware of the implications of the Duty of Care. It doesn't matter how small a business happens to be - where there's a member of staff, there's a duty of care responsibility.
An employer can be deemed to have breached their Duty of Care by failing to do everything that was reasonable in the circumstances to keep the employee safe from harm.
