At TLW Solicitors, with our experience of dealing with these claims, we recognise the many dangers in these environments, including heavy machinery and plant, working at heights, heavy manual handling, being exposed to hazardous substances, as well as slips and trips.
All employers have a duty of care to provide a safe workplace to prevent or minimise the risk of accidents to employees. Employers are under a duty to provide adequate training, fully maintained and safe working equipment, personal protective equipment and generally safe working conditions and practices.
Health and Safety laws are complicated and constantly changing and each industry, employer, factory and working practice is unique. That is why it is important to work with a team of well-supported expert solicitors who have experience of accidents at work claims.
