Hi
I was under the impression that you can not sign away your legal rights
therefore if he signed a waiver saying he knows the risks and won't sue
the company and then went on to be unable to work he could still sue, am
I right about this? I would be interested to know.

Dear all
I am seeking guidance on whether an individual, who has a either a
diagnosed underlying medical condition or a diagosed work related ill
health condition, can request to remain in a job which may have an
adverse
effect on their condition?
IE Symptoms of HAVS, does not want to take up offer of other jobs as
he
loves his current one, hates all alternatives.
Does a business have an absolute duty to change his role, or does the
indiviual have a right to make that decision with the knowledge that it
will advserley effect his health, maybe signing a waiver?
Thanks in advance
David
