Accidents at work
Industrial accident claims
Industrial accidents are accidents which occur in the workplace such as factories, offices and warehouses.
Workplaces can be dangerous for a number of reasons and of course, some workplaces are much more dangerous than others. For example, you may have a job where you have to operate heavy machinery or handle hazardous substances.
Injuries from industrial accidents range from minor pain and discomfort to someone being unable to work for an extended period of time. There are times when these injuries are very severe and even fatal.

What does the law say?
The law states that every employer is under a duty to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to guarantee that their employees are safe when carrying out their roles. Employers must therefore take steps to comply with this legal duty – and this means that each job should be risk assessed and that appropriate training and equipment should be provided. If you have sustained an injury in an industrial accident and it can be established that your employer failed to take reasonable care for your safety, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation.
