520			_aDiscusses "Smith and Another v S Notaro Ltd and Another" ([2006] EWCA Civ 775, unreported) which considered the application of the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 following an employee's manual handling accident. It was found that employer Plumbase had breached Reg 4 of the 1992 Regulations as it had not given employee Smith training on how to carry heavy loads over uneven surfaces. However, as building owner Notaro was responsible for the unsafe walkway and had breached the 1996 Regulations, CA concluded that Plumbase's liability was one third and Notaro's two thirds. Emphasises the importance for employers to comply fully with their obligations under the 1992 Regulations.
