Industrial accident claims and following advice

If there were ever a case of having grounds for receiving compensation from an industrial accident claim, it is in the event that employers of site managers have ignored health and safety – believing it to be easier, more expedient and more profitable to do nothing than it would be to do the right thing.

Unfortunately, despite the vast inroads made into addressing unsafe working practices in the UK, certain workplaces persist in paying no heed to health and safety advice or, at best, offering only a cursory nod in its direction.

As such, this explains why, despite the progress that has been made, the UK industrial accident claim rate continues to remain unacceptably high.

Roger Bibbings, occupational safety advisor for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, said his organisation believes that employers need to seriously address the broader risks pertaining to industrial workplaces. Whether these are risks on the road, the kind of noise that causes deafness and tinnitus, dermatological hazards, stress, fire or vibration, employers need to enforce a full and appropriate safety strategy.

"None of these things has to cost the Earth," said Bibbings.

"If you think safety is expensive, try having an accident," he added.

An industrial safety spokesperson from no win, no fee specialist YouClaim comments, "Industrial workplaces are potentially some of the most hazardous in the UK. To ignore safety advice, as well as being negligent, can actually be criminal.

"Safety is the right of all workers. Not just for themselves but also for their families and wider communities."
