Factory Accidents

According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) the number of injuries at work has reduced substantially over the past decade.

However, there are still too many happening on a daily basis in factories and warehouses across the UK.

Injuries in factories, warehouses and in the workplace can be varied and could mean you may be entitled to make a claim. Injuries can occur as a result of:

Lack of training or induction procedures
Defective machinery or equipment
Failure to provide employees with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Electric shock or electrocution
Exposure to dangerous substances
Fork lift truck accidents
Manual handling (bending, lifting, pulling or reaching)
Being hit by falling objects
Crushing
Slips trips or falls from uneven or slippery floor surfaces or un-cleared spillages
Slips trips or falls due to walkways not being kept clear of obstructions
Poor ventilation, lighting or air quality
Industrial deafness
Health and Safety procedures not being followed
Report the accident immediately to your supervisor or manager
Make sure that the accident is accurately recorded in the accident report book. Your employer has to record the details of all accidents and the record may be vital evidence in your case
Prepare a detailed sketch plan of the incident as soon as possible. This should clearly show the location of the defect and any warning signs present. Also this should show any other relevant information such as location of any witnesses
Obtain contact details for any witnesses to the accident
If possible, take photographs of the location of the accident and whatever it was that caused your accident
Seek medical treatment
Keep a list of all expenses which you incur as a result of the accident and hold onto any receipts
