The 3 stage test (Health and Safety)

The 3 stage test


  1. Harm which could occur must be reasonably foreseeable of which the defendants can conduct.
  2. A sufficient relationship of proximity or neighborhood exists between the alleged wrongdoer and the person who has suffered damage.
  3. It is fair, just and reasonable to impose liability. 
There are 3 tests to apply to risks which are reasonably foreseeable.
  • Common Knowledge 
  • Industry Knowledge 
  • Expert Knowledge
Risk = Likelihood x consequence (To work out practicability)
