INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT CLAIMS NATIONWIDE UK
Industrial accident claims which can arise as a result of breach of Health and Safety law may occur suddenly or over time as a result of repetitive stress caused by an employer's lack of knowledge and is a major occupational concern for both employers and their staff. The legal duty of an employer is to take reasonable care for the health of employees and failure to do so can result in an industrial accident claim.
HEALTH AND SAFETY LAW
Safety legislation for the prevention of industrial accidents is mainly contained in the following statutes:
- The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992
Requires every employer to make an assessment of the risks to the health and safety of his employees to which they are exposed whilst at work, and of other people not in his employment who are affected by his business operations.
- The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992
Require employers to meet minimum standards regarding maintenance of the workplace, ventilation, the temperature of indoor workplaces, lighting, cleaning and waste materials, room dimensions and space, and the condition of floors and traffic routes. The regulations state that these shall have no holes, slopes or be uneven or slippery so as to expose any person to a risk to his health and safety and floors must have effective means of drainage where necessary and be free from obstructions and articles or substances which would be likely to cause a person to slip, trip or fall.
- The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
Specify that work equipment including machinery must be suitable for the purpose, maintained, in good working order and repair, that information and instructions are available, training is provided and that there is protection against specified risks to health and safety.
- The Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992
Specify that so far as is reasonably practicable, each employer must avoid the need for his employees to undertake any manual handling operations at work which involve a risk of their being injured. Where it is not reasonably practicable to avoid the need for manual handling, then a suitable and sufficient industrial accident claims risk assessment must be carried out.
- The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992
This health and safety law requires that employers shall ensure that suitable personal protective equipment is provided to his employees. The employer must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the protective equipment is properly used.
