Employment Tribunal Statement Review
Summary
Your employment tribunal witness statement should be concise and focused on key incidents and concerns. Include specific examples where the emergency plan was inadequate, and suggest improvements like on-site emergency drills and better equipment. Reference relevant regulations such as the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. If your employers emergency plan relies solely on calling 999, highlight the need for immediate on-site rescue capabilities. When countering a settlement offer, clearly state your total losses and consider including requests for workplace changes and a reference for future job applications.Full Conversation

On 1st of February *, at around 11am, my team leader asked me to shut down for * and clean the ballistic separator, which is an open vessel with only one door to get in and out, classifying it as a confined space. I asked my team leader what the emergency plan was, specifically if it was to call *. He went away to check and later confirmed that calling * was the plan.
Case Rating: *
Your witness statement is on the right track. To make it stronger, try adding these points:

- Safety Concerns: Explain why calling * might not be sufficient in confined spaces.
- Suggestions: Recommend what could be done to improve the emergency plan.

I communicated to my team leader that I felt the emergency plan was inadequate and not sufficient enough. He then asked if I was doing the ballistic separator, to which I replied, "No, as I feel the emergency plan is wrong and not sufficient enough." He then said, "If you refuse to go in and do it, I will have to send you home." I responded, "If that's what you got to do." He then asked, "Are you refusing to do a reasonable request?" I said, "If that is what you are calling it."
We then went to the office, and he asked me one more time in front of Adam Spears. Again, I said no. My team leader, Simon, then said, "You are now suspended and will get a letter." Simon and Adam then escorted me off-site.

Sure, I can help with that. Here are some points you might want to include:
- Limited Access: Confined spaces often have restricted entry and exit points, which can delay emergency services' access to the affected area.
- Specialized Training: Emergency responders may require specialized training and equipment to safely navigate and perform rescues in confined spaces.
- Preparation Time: Preparing and deploying the necessary equipment for confined space rescue can take additional time, potentially delaying the response.
- Communication Challenges: Communication in confined spaces can be difficult, making it harder for emergency services to assess the situation quickly.

Thank you for your offer to settle this claim at no cost. However, considering the schedule of loss that I have prepared, the total amount of my losses comes to £*,*. This amount does not include potential pay raises and bonuses I may have missed out on. Therefore, I propose a settlement amount of £*,* to cover my total losses.
Additionally, I would like to request that necessary changes be made to the workplace emergency plan to ensure the safety of all employees, in line with legal regulations.
I look forward to your response.
Best regards,
