We are all responsible for our own health and safety however your employer has a legal responsibility to provide a safe and secure workplace, adequate materials and equipment, proper training and supervision. Even if your accident was caused by faulty machinery or equipment supplied by another company, the responsibility remains with your employer to ensure that it is safe for you to use and you have the proper training to use it.
If you have been injured in an accident at work or have been diagnosed with a condition or illness because of the job you perform, you may feel reluctant to make a claim for compensation against your employer for fear of losing your job but this should not be the case.
Accidents at work are extremely common and your employer will have insurance to cover any work related accident claims. There are also laws in place to ensure your employer cannot dismiss you from your job for making a claim.
We can assist you with a claim, if you have experienced:
Obviously there are many different causes of work related injury and illness, these are just a few examples. Please feel free to contact us should you be unsure.
