Accident at Work

Many accidents occur in the workplace and under many different circumstances. Employers have a responsibility and a duty of care under the many regulations. They must ensure the health, safety and welfare of employees and others affected by their actions. This may be on your employers premises or other premises whilst you are carrying out your employed duties.

It is a requirement, by law, that all employers have Employers Liability Insurance. It is the insurance company that pay the compensation to which you may be entitled in the event of an injury at work. The insurance policy will cover all full and part time employees, self-employed persons and voluntary workers. Workplaces can be any type of premises and working environment such as offices, factories, shops, warehouses, building sites etc.

Employers have a duty of care to provide a safe workplace, safe machinery, plant and equipment, safe system of work etc. An injury in the workplace may have been sustained due to faulty equipment or inadequate training, cables across the floor, poor desk and computer layout etc. Many injures occur on building sites for all sorts of reasons including falling from scaffolding and ladders, unprotected risk areas etc.

It is important that employees are aware that they are protected by legislation. The employer can not terminate your employment for making a compensation claim for an injury in the workplace.
