Workshops can be relatively informal workplaces – however, in the event that you sustain injury while working in or visiting a workshop, a personal injury solicitor on our team may be able to help you make a successful accident at work claim.
Slips, trips and falls are among the most common safety incidents that take place in a workshop.
Whether incidents occur as a result of spilt fluids, unsecured electrical wires or uneven floor surfaces, the resulting injuries can be serious, particularly if victims fall into workshop tools or machinery.
Whether they are powered tools or simple old-fashioned manual tools, hand tools can present hazards in the workshop environment.
Tool-related accidents can cause puncture wound, cuts, abrasions and, sometimes, eye injuries and burns.
Workshops are often full of machinery, whether it is lathes, milling or grinding machines. Strict rules and regulations apply to the safe use of machinery in the workshop setting, including the PUWER 1998 Regulations.
It is possible to make an accident at work claim for full compensation in the event you suffer injury in a workshop ladder accident.
Ladders are frequently used in the workshop environment in order to reach tools and equipment that is stored at height – they should never be used as an alternative to scaffolding.
All employers have a responsibility to protect employees from the health hazards caused by excessive noise and vibration. Noise levels above 85dB(A) can result in industrial deafness conditions such as tinnitus, while too much vibration can cause vibration illnesses such as VWF or HAVS.
Safe lifting can ensure that workers do not suffer back injury and other musculoskeletal damage.
Whether chemicals, solvents, paints or asbestos, hazardous substances can cause burns, respiratory illness, cancer and a range of industrial diseases. In the event a worker becomes ill, they may be able to claim compensation.
