First, I should clarify that—treating it as an example without any particular facts or employer and simply for the purpose of this debate—one would not be looking under Clause 2(1)(b) as a duty owed as an occupier of premises, but rather under Clause 2(1)(c) or perhaps Clause 2(1)(c)(iv) relating to the use or keeping by the organisation of any plant, vehicle or other thing. I was trying to get across the point that there is a distinction between the position of employer and occupier—the Clause 2(1)(c) duties—and what might more properly be regarded as the public functions that I sought to characterise as public functions of the organisation. I trust that that gives some clarity, but possibly not.
