Accidents at Work
Your employer must ensure that work places are safe for employees.
Workplaces must, for instance, be kept clean and floors must be well constructed and be free of any hazards such as potholes, slopes or slippery surfaces. Your employers must also take special care if there is any danger of you falling from height and suffering injury and take measures to prevent you from being hit by anything that is likely to fall on you.
Likewise, your employers must ensure the workplace is well lit and at a reasonable temperature, provide proper ventilation, ensure that any equipment provided to you in the course of your employment is suitable for its purpose, well maintained and in good condition and ensure that you have received suitable training in the use of the equipment. Furthermore, your employer must take steps to minimise the need for you to undertake any manual handling tasks which may put you at risk of injury.
The failure of your employer to fulfil any of the above obligations could result in you having a valid claim for compensation if you suffer injury or illness as a consequence.
