HSE guidance clearly states employers have a legal duty of care towards their employees. This includes arranging equipment to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if an injury occurs at work. If your assessment of needs suggests your work place is a risk to causing head, neck and spinal injuries, it would be wise to consider supplying a stretcher and head immobiliser for such events.
