Health and safety at work is one of the most important issues that your employer has to deal with. Your employer must take all reasonable measures to ensure the safety of their employees and people who visit their premises to minimise the risk of accidents. Your employer is also legally obliged to report all accidents and incidents at work.
Accidents Work Claims
Any injury of whatever nature caused by an accident at work should be recorded by your employer in a designated accident book. Not only does this provide a record for both you and your employer, but could also help prevent accidents in the future.
If you believe that you have suffered an injury as a result of an accident at work which was caused by a fault or negligence on the part for your employer, you may be entitled to make an accident at work claim.
Accident at Work Claim
Almost all accidents at work can be avoided, especially if employers operate with a more rigorous approach to the management of health and safety issues within the workplace.
Your employer is required to have Employer Liability Insurance to ensure that employees are protected in the event that they have cause to make an accident at work claim. Keep in mind that legal time limits require any accident work claim for accidents at work to be issued within three years from the date of the accident.
