The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)
Regulations 1992 deal with safe maintenance of workplaces,
conditions of work and many other details as waste
materials, floors and traffic routes, falling objects,
escalators, gates, etc.
The
Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 specify
that the employer must avoid
any manual handling operations at work which bear
a risk of an injury.
The
Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998
detail rules concerning work equipment - it's
adequacy, proper maintenance, informations and instructions,
training and protection against risks to health and
safety.
And
finally, The Personal Protective Equipment at Work
Regulations 1992 provide details about personal
protective gear - every employer is obliged to
provide and properly maintain suitable equipment, if
the employees are exposed to anything bearing
the risk to their health and safety; the company must
also ensure that the protective equipment is used according
to all the safety rules.
An Injury Can Happen To Anyone!
The
legislation grants you some good protection but the
reality is far from perfect. Not mentioning that
even at the best ordained workplace something can go
wrong and you can suffer from an industrial injury.
Accidents are completely unpredictable.
A
momentary lack of concentration, some machinery malfunction...
well, anything is possible. And suddenly
you're hurt so your problems start. Trouble at work,
personal and social problems, stress, pain and suffering
- it's
all too much for one injured person.
This
is why if you have an accident at work, you shouldn't
hesitate - you should make a workplace
accident claim and get proper compensation for
all your losses. You need it and you deserve it!
Work
injury claims require some preparation - the
injury assessment, a medical report, a record in company's
accident book and many others. But when you're injured
and suffer, it is hard to take care of every detail
- it's
hard to even remember all of them.
This
is the moment when you should call for help of
an expert: an accident
solicitor. They are experienced
in handling industrial injury claims and they
know how and what should be done to grant you the best
compensation
possible. You don't need to worry about all the
procedures, court case, etc. It's all in good
hands of a compensation solicitor.
I
Can't Work - How Can I Pay For The Solicitor's
Service?
Here
is the good news: a solicitor's assistance
in your compensation
claim costs you nothing at all.
The solicitor pays all the fees and bills from the
very beginning until the final verdict.
If
you win your claim, you get 100% of your compensation
and the solicitor's wages are covered by the losing
party. On the other hand, if you lose, there is no
logical reason, why you should pay for something you
didn't get, so you don't pay anything either - all
money involved in your workplace accident claim comes
from the solicitor.
There
are no loans or interest for you to pay. You risk
nothing and you can win quite a substantial amount.
What is also important, you don't need to handle
the claim
yourself, so for you it is not only cost-free but also
stress-free.
