Can I claim compensation for a work-related
lifting injury?

Every day in the work place employees in all types of jobs are called on to lift and move objects and sometimes injury can occur. Injury from lifting occur in many situations, often moving goods and stock around, disposing of waste, undertaking maintenance and heavy tasks in industry. Equally common are lifting related injuries in the caring professions, nurses, care workers and personal helpers often move patients which can cause injury.
Equipment is usually supplied by employers to assist with the lifting process. It is essential that equipment is free from defect, properly maintained and that all employees required to use the equipment are properly trained.
