Accidents at Work
All employers have a responsibility to protect their employees, contractors and visitors from accidents and injuries.
This includes ensuring: -
- They provide their employees with the necessary machinery and tools to complete their jobs. They also need to ensure the machines and tools are maintained to a safe condition.
- The workplace is kept in a safe and tidy condition. Employees should be provided with suitable workstations and chairs and the floor and corridors should be clean and free from hazards. Doors and gates should not be obstructed.
- All employees required to lift heavy objects should receive training to show them how to do this safely.
- All employers are provided with any safety wear they require to complete their jobs, such as goggles, hard hats, ear defenders, dust masks, safety gloves, safety boots or high-visibility jackets
- Sometimes, when employers don’t act responsibility and standards are left to fall, workers get hurt. The Law entitles you to receive compensation when you have been involved in an accident at work, which was not your fault.
At Q & A Solicitors, we will endeavour to secure your personal injury compensation and make sure your employer does not escape liability for your injury. You will keep 100% of the compensation awarded to you.
