Looking for some advice for a friend. They have serious injuries following being pushed to do a physical job which required specialist equipment they didn't have available (think crane, pushed to do by hand). They are now off work having been in hospital for a few days. Weeks of recovery ahead, and may not be physically fit as before. Work have agreed to pay wages despite not having a sick pay policy and been visiting and contacting a lot.
Where would he be best going for advice? And what are the possible timelines and fall outs to consider? The company is very large and work is construction based. This is a breach of health and safety policy based on company guidelines, and he'd like to get legal advice, how do you pick someone?
Thanks in advance!
