Accident At Work

It is your employer’s responsibility to keep you safe at work, but unfortunately this isn’t always achieved and accidents do happen.

Liability & Responsibility for a Safe Working Environment

Legally, an employer has a responsibility to ensure that the working environment reamins safe for all employees. Health and safety regulations should be adhered to, and employees should receive appropriate training along with the correct safety equipment required.

Health and safety regulations cover various aspects of the workplace, including your work station, equipment safety, manual handling, training, access to hazardous substances, workwear such as slip resistant shoes and noise levels. Nonetheless, accidents do happen and if you’ve been injured in the workplace through no fault of your own, then you’re entitled to raise a claim. Even if the negligence of another employee caused your workplace accident, you could still claim for workplace accident compensation. This relates to all kinds of injuries sustained in the workplace, from serious injury using heavy machinery, right through to injury sustained from slipping on a wet floor or tripping over a hazard.
