Work accidents: interruption of the causal link between employer's conduct and harmful event
- 25/06/2018
By Judgment no. 22034 of 18th May 2018, the Court of Cassation has explained that, as to the implementation of safety measures on workplaces, an employer is not liable when his employee’s conduct cannot be foreseen and is also kept in a context which is completely unrelated to the tasks he was assigned.
According to the Court, it must be excluded, in the case at issue, the existence of a causal link between the conduct of an employer, who did not put on an oil barrel any indication about the substance it contained, and the harmful event occurred. The barrel, which was already empty, had been given for free by one of that employer’s workers to an employee of another undertaking, who had then caused injuries to a third person.
