ABSTRACT
An employer will be in breach of this duty if he engages a workman who has had insufficient training or experience for a particular job and, as a result of that workman’s incompetence, another employee is injured. An employer will similarly be liable where he continues to employ a man who is known by him to be a bully, addicted to practical jokes or ‘skylarking’, or is in other respects a danger to his fellow workmen, and another employee is harmed by the man.6
