Have you or someone you know been involved in an accident at work?
Employers have a duty of care to all their employees to ensure that they are
safe whilst carrying out their day to day duties.
Whether you work in an office, factory, warehouse, on a building site, or are
employed driving from one part of the country to another, your employer should look after you.
Offices: Keeping offices well designed, clear from obstacles and trailing cables,
providing proper health and safety training for heavy lifting, fire, flood or alarm
are all employer duties of care.
Factories: Maintaining clear and clean floor space, machinery guards, suitable
clothing and footwear, providing extensive health and safety training in the event
of chemical spill, fork lift truck accident, falling machinery or thorough training
with any heavy machinery all similarly fall part of an employer's duty of care.
Construction: Probably one of the most dangerous areas to work in. Hazardous materials
and chemicals, heavy lifting, working at height, heavy machinery and dangerous equipment
all need constant assessment.
Above all one of the most onerous things for a construction employer is keeping a very
close eye on all aspects of their workers safety when working in what is so often a
constantly changing environment.
If you have been injured through no fault of your own you maybe entitled to compensation.
