In a recent Queensland Supreme Court decision, a host employer was found to be 75% liable for failing to implement and enforce a safe system of work after a labour hire employee fractured his elbow when attempting to dodge a wasp and then falling over a bag of rubbish.
In the recent decision of Bishop v Compass Group Remote Hospitality Services Pty Ltd [2024] QDC 14, the District Court found that, although the employer had breached its duty of care towards its employee, that breach had not caused the injured worker’s bilateral elbow condition.
