safety liability

[chevrolet1.8]

i crushed my thumb between a door frame and a piece of work equipment resulting in my nail going black, which i may lose, and severe bruising. i went to the hospital and it was x-rayed but found not to be broken. This is the second incidence where somebody has done the same thing and after the first incident the health and safety at work made a decision that the doorways had to be widened by an extra half metre and new doors put in. is there a set time frame for this to have been done as i feel that my firm have been negligent in completing the work. thanks

So you trapped your thumb yet blame someone else? Interesting...

I walked straight into a wall. Another numpty did as well. So Health and Saftey say that a door should be put in the wall! The country's gone mad.

Ask H&S to buy a sign like this.

or make one yourself, once your thumb is better of course

yes...........i think you missed the point there. I was actually looking for a legal response not a sarcastic rant. The health and safety agreed it was necessary to widen the door frame to allow the equipment to pass through the door safely as it was a tight fit and awkward. A contractor was brought in to assess the work and it was decided to make the doorway wider and put in double doors. I have since found out that my firm had changed their mind as the first accident happened in december last year and they didn't want to spend the money. Since we are now into april and it has happened a second time they are being pressed to go ahead with the original work. Basically i just want to know if the decision was made in the first instance that it was unsafe and they failed to act on it are they now liable for further injuries. (helpful answers please)
