Accidents in the workplace cause of nearly fifty percent of all accidents in the UK.
UK employers are obliged to provide employees with the following:
- a safe way for an employee to carry out their work
- a safe workplace for an employee in which to work
- suitable materials and equipment for the employee, plus training and supervision in how to use them by a competent member of staff
If an employer does not provide any or all of the above, the employer is liable to pay damages to an employee who has an accident in the workplace as a result.
Employers must have Employer's Liability Insurance, which covers the Employer if an employee makes a claim against them. This insurance means that an employee should feel free to seek legal advice if they have suffered an accident in the workplace.
