Accidents at Work
You don’t expect to be injured at work but accidents happen and many have significant and even devastating consequences.
In 2005/2006 212 workers were killed at work and 6 million working days were lost through workplace injury.
If you have been injured at work you are likely to be able to claim compensation providing you can prove fault. Fault is not always obvious and it may seem that there was no one to blame, but this is where we can help you.
Employers are required to provide and properly maintain suitable work equipment and training on how to use it – work equipment can vary from factory machinery to ladders and from vans to chairs. Employers must maintain the workplace and keep it clean providing suitable workstations and seating as well as suitable doors and floors.
Employers must keep floors free from obstructions and things likely to cause persons to slip or trip. They must provide suitable protective equipment including ear protection, goggles, safety footwear and hard hats. They must ensure that employees lifting and moving heavy objects have suitable training.
