Accidents in the workplace
Your workplace must be a safe environment and to help make sure of this, there are many health and safety regulations in place that your employer should adhere to.
Every employer must implement these stringent rules and regulations to ensure the health and safety of their staff, contractors and visitors.
Typical injury claims arising from an accident in the workplace can be caused by:
- Providing defective or unsuitable machinery or equipment
- Using hazardous working practices & procedures
- Allowing contact with dangerous materials
- Failing to supply protective clothing equipment
- Trip or slip hazards
- Lack of training or incorrect training
- Heavy lifting
- Falls from heights
- Actions of other colleagues
Employers can face heavy fines or even imprisonment if they fail to implement the correct health and safety regulations.
In England and Wales, all employers must also have insurance in place to cover themselves in the event of you claiming for compensation for injuries sustained due to an accident in the workplace and therefore it is the insurers or their appointed Solicitors with whom we will deal.
