Butchers' injuries could qualify for work accident compensation

One profession whose dependence on sharp blades could lead to a work accident compensation claim is butchery. This could be true of both a small independent butcher and the meat counter of a large supermarket.

It is the necessity for blades in this job that makes risk assessments and training highly important, particularly as most manuals will argue that the sharper the blade, the better the work it does.

It is not only hand-held butchers' knives that can slip; the larger machines can also lead to some serious personal injury. One study of butchers' bandsaw injuries, published in 2007, began from the investigation of an unusual amputation, and went on to explore all extant cases in the medical literature for other occupational saw blade injuries and any related pig-borne microbiological infection.

Most cases of infected wounds that were found related to airborne flora, not any of the pathogens that can be carried by pigs, but this does not mean the risk is negligible.

A no win, no fee industrial accident compensation claim may cover a wound, an amputation, or a related infection if it can be shown that it arose as a result of the worker's employer not providing sufficient training or failing to maintain equipment appropriately.
