What is failure to supervise?

Failure to supervise is when an employer fails to protect an employee with appropriate direction, oversight or assistance from a trained or senior member of staff – resulting in an accident at work.

Especially common in construction and similar manual labour jobs, negligent supervision in Newcastle is a serious example of employer failure to uphold legal obligations.

Common failure to supervise examples

Common failure to supervise examples include, but are not limited to:

• Lack of health & safety protocol leading to falling objects hitting an employee
• Failure of supervisors to instruct and enforce the handout of PPE
• Failure to prevent injury from machinery due to lack of supervision or intervention, possibly leading to serious injury and, in extreme cases, amputation or fatal injury
• Supervisors failing to train unqualified staff and allowing them to perform dangerous tasks.

Failure to supervise claim FAQs

How much compensation will I get from a failure to supervise claim?

Compensation will vary depending on the nature of each claim – including the severity of the resulting injury, the scale of the negligence and the quality-of-life changes experienced by the claimant. In the UK, serious workplace negligence claims can range from several thousand pounds to significant six-figure settlements for life-changing injuries.

How do I prove my supervisor was negligent?

You can prove your supervisor was negligent through witness statements, proof of failure to train, CCTV footage, incident reports and more.

Does negligent supervision only apply to the workplace?

Negligent supervision does not only apply to the workplace – it also applies in settings where someone has a duty to protect or oversee others, such as education or healthcare, including cases of medical negligence leading to a delayed diagnosis.

How serious does my injury have to be to file a negligent supervision claim?

If your evidence of negligent supervision is credible, you can claim for a range of injuries, including occupational asthma or RSI.

Do I have to be physically hurt to file a failure to supervise claim?

You do not have to be physically hurt to file a claim, but you must be able to prove you have suffered harm. This could be related to a currently non-painful disease, such as the early stages of work-related cancer, or psychological harm.
