Accident at work In a ruling of October 11, 2018, the Court of Cassation ruled that when the temporary worker who is the victim of a transit procedure has not received enhanced security training, the employer is guilty of inexcusable misconduct.
Assigned to a meat cutting station (a station presenting particular risks to health and safety), the employee was injured. The employer had renewed the knives used a few days before the accident and had made anti-cut and anti-prick protective gloves available to the employees. He felt that he had fulfilled his safety obligations.
Despite these arguments, the Court of Cassation held that the employer had failed to prove that it had provided the enhanced safety training and was therefore guilty of an inexcusable fault leading to specific compensation for the damage suffered.
