A No PPE Provided claim is a type of personal injury claim made when a worker suffers an injury because their employer failed to provide suitable Personal Protective Equipment required for their role.

Under Irish health and safety law, employers are required to assess workplace risks and provide appropriate PPE where hazards cannot be eliminated through other safety measures. If this legal duty is breached and an injury occurs, you may be entitled to pursue compensation.
