Your employer must provide you with a safe environment and adhere with a vast array of rules & regulations to ensure your safety within the workplace.
As every employer must adhere to strict Health and Safety regulations to ensure your safety, it is likely that if you have suffered an accident at work, then you could have a very strong compensation claim.
Accident at Work Compensation Claim
Under UK Law all employers are required to have adequate insurance cover in the unfortunate event of an accident at work happening. Any employer that is found to be threatening in any way to an employee while making an accident compensation claim can be heavily fined or even jailed. In any event all compensation claims will be met by the employers insurers.
If you've had an accident at work, it might have been due to:
Faulty or unsuitable work equipment
Dangerous working practices within the workplace
Exposure to dangerous materials within the workplace
Breaches of the Health & Safety legislation
Trip or slip hazards
Failure to provide correct training
Heavy lifting
Actions of work colleagues
