The Occupiers' Liability Act 1957 states that occupiers of premises must take reasonable care to ensure that visitors will be reasonably safe when on the premises. For example, a supermarket may owe a duty of care to a customer who has slipped on a wet floor. In this example, the law states that the supermarket must show that it has implemented a reasonable system of inspection for hazards and dealing with them when they occur.
There are of course a variety of accidents that can occur on a premises and each case will be looked at on a case by case basis.
