INDUSTRIAL INJURY CLAIMS UK
The duty of an employer is to comply with the health and safety regulations to reduce the possibility of industrial injury claims. An employer is required to provide competent co-workers, adequate materials, safety equipment, protective clothing and a safe system of work with proper training and supervision and if he does not do so and an accident occurs then the employer will be liable to pay compensation to the employee.
We are a national network of specialist accident solicitors who operate the no win no fee scheme. We do not make any deductions from your compensation which is paid in full nor do we ask you to fund or finance your claim in any respect. Our solicitors are experienced in dealing with a wide range of claims including
Legislation to cover safety of employees in the workplace is contained in numerous statutes however those most widely used to offer protection are:
- The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 which requires an employer to make an assessment of any foreseeable risk that an employee or others may be exposed to and take appropriate action to reduce that risk to a reasonably acceptable level.
- The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 require employers to ensure safety in regards to maintenance of the workplace, ventilation, the temperature of indoor workplaces, lighting, cleaning and waste materials, room dimensions and space, the condition of floors and traffic routes, falling objects, washing facilities, escalators, doors and gates.
- 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. Where it is not reasonably practicable to avoid the need for manual handling, then a suitable and sufficient risk assessment must be carried out of all manual handling operations to be undertaken.
- To reduce the risk of industrial injury claims The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 specifies that work equipment must be suitable for the purpose, adequately maintained, in good working order, and that information, instructions and training is provided and that there is protection against specified risks to health and safety.
- The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations 1992 state that every employer shall ensure that suitable personal protective equipment is provided to his employees who may be exposed to risk to their health and safety while at work.
Such personal protective equipment that is provided must be assessed as being suitable and must be properly maintained. The employer must take all reasonable steps to ensure that any personal protective equipment provided to his employees is properly used.
