Cleaning up with no win, no fee compensation

Something that most businesses and many larger households have is a cleaner or housekeeper and for these employees work accidents that result in no win, no fee compensation claims are fairly common.

There are many incidents in which cleaners sustain workplace injuries in work accidents, some of which are considered below:

Road accidents cleaners usually have a number of contracts, something which involves travelling to different locations as part of their working week. Hurrying from one home or business to another to make appointments can lead to road accidents caused by stressed, fatigued drivers.

Slip, trips and falls cleaners will be accustomed to clearing up after people but it is the responsibility of employers to abide by health and safety regulations. Leaving belongings strewn all over the floors and in walkways or leaving puddles on slippery surfaces could result in serious personal injury for your cleaner.

Falls from height dusting and cleaning high shelving, windows and ceilings may involve use of a step ladder. However, falls from height are one of the most common causes of personal injury in the workplace and the biggest single cause of fatal work accidents so it is important the Health and safety Executive's Work at height Regulations 2005 are adhered to.

Head injuries unsecured shelving or fixtures could cause your cleaner a serious head injury. Merely tapping an unstable or overloaded shelf could cause files or belongings to fall onto a cleaner's head, with the possibility of sharp objects contributing to open head injuries and heavy, blunt objects causing closed head injuries.

Burn injuries leaving electrical appliances such as hair straightners switched on not only increases the risk of a house fire but could also injure your housekeeper were they to come across them under a pile of clothing while tidying. Similarly, leaving hot pots and pans lying around in the kitchen could cause unnecessary workplace injuries to your cleaner.
