Accidents in the workplace are all too common; whether you work in a high-risk environment or in a quiet office, some accidents are simply unavoidable. However, all employers have a duty of care to take certain health and safety precautions to protect their employees. Claim-Easy.co.uk receives many enquiries regarding claiming for compensation for accidents in the work-place. Here, the claims management company that makes claiming for accident compensation “easy-peasy, lemon squeezy”, guides you through claiming for an accident at work.
When it comes to avoiding accidents at work, the best measures are preventative. Therefore, wherever possible, protect yourself from personal injury by considering your work station, whether it is harming your back or if it is causing you repetitive strain injury or eye strain, and if you think there could be improvements made then tell your boss. Employers should carry out regular checks on workstation safety and comfort without you having to ask. Also consider the wider work environment:
While it is of course common sense to protect yourself from injury at work in this way, it is not in fact your duty to do this, but your employer’s. They should provide you with a safe work station and wider work environment, regularly checking that you are working in safe and comfortable surroundings. They should provide you with everything you need to protect yourself, including protective clothing and eyewear where needed. They should also clearly display posters showing you how to move heavy goods without harming your back.
If you have suffered an accident at work that was not your fault, it could well be because of a negligent duty of care on the part of your employer. At the time of the accident, request to make a record of it in the accident report book (which every employer should keep according to the Health and Safety Act) and make a note of any witnesses to the accident. Seek medical treatment as soon as possible, even if your injury is not severe. Medical records could help with any subsequent accident claims.
