TORT ESSAY ASSIGNMENT LATEST Critically analysing the law governing an employers liability for injuries caused to his employee at work. INTRODUCTION The law requires that an employer takes reasonable steps to ensure the safety of all employees, and they are obliged to observe a reasonable standard of care. Broadly speaking, employers are required to provide adequate safety information and equipment to their employees, to ensure that the workplace is safe, while providing adequate instructions and competent staff to carry out the duties, and to properly warn employees of any dangers in the workplace.

INTRODUCTION It is an obligation of an employer to aggressively protect their employees from any form of Harassment and discrimination in the workplace. To instill a zero tolerance towards these issues, it is crucial for employers to educate themselves and their employees on issues, regulations and policies associated with them. In the following dissertation, I plan to describe how laws, regulations and policies against sexual harassment, harassment and discrimination in the workplace play a vital role on the business brand and relations with all employees regardless of nationality. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for sexual harassment defines sexual harassment as unwelcomed sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal/Non- verbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Harassment includes but not limited to any offensive conduct that has the purpose of effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, offensive, or hostile environment.

Drug use in the work place Drug use by an employee is rightfully private unless the reason that an employer needs to know is for the safety of their employees. There are many reasons to support employer’s right on regulation of their employees drug use. Amongst these are the arguments focusing on the personal rights of other employees and safety by having a drug- and alcohol-free workplace policy in place. While I support the rights of privacy for consenting adults. I feel that once you use drugs in a work place you put other employees at risk.
