Accidents at Work

Since the early 1970's employees have been protected by a raft of Health and Safety Legislation.

Since that time, the obligations on employers to ensure the safety of their staff has increased substantially.

No matter how safe your working environment appears, your employer should have undertaken risk assessments to assess how you could be injured at work and what steps can be taken to minimise that risk.  If they haven't and you are hurt at work, they could be liable.

Employers must record every injury sustained to an employee in an accident book and, if you have been injured at work, you should insist on seeing a copy of that entry and only if you agree with it should you sign it.

If you have had an accident at work and are suffering with your injuries or have had time off work that you have not been paid for, then contact us and we will be happy to advise you further.
