Shhhh I'm stressed - Librarians and accident at work compensation claims

YouClaim receive a lot of phone calls from people who have sustained workplace injuries and successfully made accident at work compensation claims.

There are some industries from which you would expect work accident claims to come thick and fast such as the construction industry and agricultural industry, which have the highest incidence rates of fatal work accidents.

However, one such job that you would expect to be relatively injury-free is that of a librarian when in fact, according to psychologist Sabiq Saddiq, librarians suffer the most from stress at work. In fact, it was found in a study that one in three library employees suffers from poor psychological health. One explanation for this was that they find their job repetitive and unchallenging.

Even compared to firefighters, police officers, train operators and teachers, librarians came out as the most stressed. As well as being the most likely workers to be absent from work, librarians said that they were not content with their physical environment, that their skills were not being used to their full potential and that they had little control over their career.

Sabiq Saddiq commented on the study which looked at almost 300 people from the five different occupations and said, "Although these findings seem strange at first, they actually show how insidious stress can be, and how it can have an unhealthy impact in any organisation.

"Firefighters and police are trained to deal with the stresses that their jobs undoubtedly entail, librarians and school teachers are less likely to have these support systems in place.

"In addition, stress impacts different personalities in different ways, and different personalities may be drawn to different roles."

Feeling stressed and dissatisfied at work can not only lead to taking days off for illness but it can also lead to low productivity and mishaps that could result in accident at work compensation claims. When we are feeling run down and pressurised we are more likely to be clumsy, accident prone and vulnerable to slips and trips. When stressed it is also easier to make errors in judgement such as miss-pouring hot tea and ending up with burn injuries and driving dangerously and causing car accidents.
