Workplace Injury: Focused Support for Warehouse and Factory Accidents
If you’ve sustained a workplace injury in a warehouse or factory in England or Wales, you’re not alone. These environments are crucial to the economy but present unique risks. At Claim Today, we understand the complexities of workplace injury claims in these demanding settings. Our specialist injury Solicitors are committed to help you secure the compensation you need to move forward after a workplace injury.
Common Causes in Warehouses and Factories
Warehouses and factories are fast-paced environments involving heavy machinery, intense manual handling, and potentially hazardous conditions. This combination often leads to workplace injury incidents such as:
- Forklift Accidents: Forklift collisions, pedestrian accidents, and improperly handled loads can all result in severe workplace injury.
- Slips, Trips, and Falls: Hazards like slippery floors, obstacles, uneven surfaces, and poorly maintained ladders contribute to high rates of workplace injury in industrial settings.
- Manual Handling Injuries: Repeated lifting, carrying, and handling heavy objects often leads to strains, sprains, and musculoskeletal injuries.
- Falling Objects: Items falling from shelves or conveyors can cause severe workplace injuries, particularly to the head and upper body.
- Machinery Accidents: Inadequate training or faulty equipment can result in entanglements, crush injuries, or even amputations.
- Exposure to Hazardous Substances: Harmful chemicals, fumes, and dust in factories can lead to workplace injuries, including respiratory issues and skin conditions.
Understanding Your Rights
In a warehouse or factory setting, your employer is legally required to create a safe working environment to prevent workplace injury. This includes:
- Providing comprehensive training and supervision
- Maintaining equipment and machinery in safe, working order.
- Implementing secure systems and regular risk assessments.
- Supplying and enforcing the use of appropriate safety equipment.
If you experience a workplace injury due to an employer’s failure to uphold these obligations, you have the right to seek compensation.
