Commission of the European Communities v. United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (Case C-127/05) 

“Because, inter alia, the provision in art 5(1) of Directive 89/391 imposing a duty on employers to ensure the safety and health of workers did not require employers to be subject to no-fault liability, the Commission of the European Communities had not established that, by restricting the duty on employers to ensure the safety and health of workers in all aspects related to work to a duty to do that only ‘so far as is reasonably practicable’, the UK had failed to fulfil its obligations under art 5(1) and (4) of the Directive.”
