Have the seen the accident report? Is it correct?
Were HSE involved?

I think the only accident report was done when I returned to site on that day, I think I was still in a bit of shock and just wanted to get home, I’d also say there was no HSE involvement
It wasn’t something we had at work.

He means an Employment Tribunal claim, on account of your potentially unlawful dismissal.

I haven’t done a ET claim.

From your posts on this thread, one assumes that you are (were) a grocery delivery driver for a major supermarket?

I assume also that you had some kind of training/induction before commencing work?

Was an assessment of the ground that you were going to cover before making a delivery specified within that training?

If it was, I can see why it's been deemed that you assessed the ground and the fall was your responsibility.

Yes it was (Waitrose)
Our training covered lifting crates without hurting your back.
I don’t remember any specific training to assess delivery sites, but when we raised concerns about dangerous drops we were told to get on with it or go home.
Drivers did collect photos of doggy drops that were sent to head office.
Not one was then deemed unsafe.
