Can I claim compensation for a fall from
height at work?
A fall from height at work is a common and preventable accident. Tragically, last year, one employee a week was killed in an accident at work as a result of falling from a height. The most common cause of such an accident is a fall from ladders, but many accidents also occur when loading and unloading goods, working on platforms and scaffolds, in agriculture and in the utility supply industry.
Your employer has a positive duty to do all they reasonably can to prevent you being injured in a fall; including providing training and safety equipment and ensuring that ladders and scaffolding are secure. If they fail to do this, or if one of your co-workers causes you to fall from height as a result of inadequate training or negligence, then you can make a compensation claim. Your employer is responsible for the negligence and mistakes made by your co worker.
Common falls from height accidents include:
- Falls from ladders
- Falls from scaffolding
- Falls through roofs or roof lights
- Falls from machines
- Falls from open edges
- Falls from lorries
