Health and Safety at Work
Wherever you work, there are always risks to your health and safety whether you are in a predominantly office based position or a physical role. All places of work are bound by the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 to provide protection for employees. Workplaces have a duty to provide an environment that protects the ‘health, safety and welfare’ of their employees and any other individual on the premises. Whatever protection is in place, injuries and potential health hazards will still occur. However, if all the appropriate procedures are not put in place, this risk increases and puts staff at unnecessary risk of injuries that could have been prevented.
If you have suffered an injury or health issue at work, it can have drastic consequences. This may include loss of earnings, an inability to work or a financial and emotional impact to you and your family. At Injury Lawyers UK we have vast experience in helping claimants who have had an accident in the workplace and can help you claim for the compensation you deserve.

Types of Claim
Injuries and health issues that occur in the workplace can range from burns and injuries to various parts of the body to even more serious occurrences such as amputations and fatalities. When the proper health and safety procedures aren’t in place it can result in injuries caused by some of the following:
- Slip, trip and fall hazards
- Dangerous practices
- Use of toxic substances
- Falling objects
- Insufficient training
- Negligence
- Dangerous machinery
- Faulty equipment
- Operating and handling heavy loads
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Inadequate ventilation, lighting and temperature control
- Unsafe environmental conditions for the job
Employers need to abide by regulations that minimise the risk of the above list as much as is reasonably possible.
