Accident at Work?

Injured in a road traffic accident?Accidents at work are very common and can happen in any kind of job or workplace, regardless of whether its a factory, an office, a building site, a warehouse or a farm.

If you've been injured at work, you shouldn't worry about making a compensation claim because your employer should have insurance by law to cover these situations, just like you need insurance to drive a car.

Accident at Work - Employer's Duty

Your employer has a duty to provide a safe workplace.  This might include organising Health and Safety training prior to starting the job in order to avoid risks that can result in an accident.  Training can cover simple issues such as not leaving cables on floors, or wiping up floor spills as soon as they happen.  Or it might be much more high risk training, such as how to safely operate dangerous equipment, machinery and environments.

Needless to say you also have to take responsibility for yourself and others, always following the regulations and using the equipment provided by your employer. In other words, it is your employer’s responsibility to provide you with appropriate training and equipment and it is your responsibility to take this instruction and use it accordingly.
