No win no fee solicitors and construction site accidents

No win no fee solicitors are often asked to conduct compensation claims for workers from the construction industry after work-related accidents have caused personal injury.

Health and Safety Executive (HSE) findings revealed that in London during 2007/08 eleven workers died and 1,600 suffered major injuries requiring three or more days off work. Also, one member of the public was killed and 36 were injured in construction sector incidents.

Stephen Williams, the HSE chief inspector of construction, said, "While workers in the refurbishment sector continue to be injured and killed, HSE will continue to target the contractors and principal contractors on those sites who flout health and safety law and come down hard on them where necessary".

The HSE subsequently undertook a series of spot checks on London construction sites in an attempt to stamp out dangerous work practices.

In the event of a work-related accident no win no fee solicitors would be interested in the findings of such spot checks which may become evidence in the event of a compensation claim.

2009 HSE inspection initiative

HSE inspectors looked at whether:

  • Jobs that involve working at height had been identified and properly planned to ensure that appropriate precautions are in place;
  • Equipment was correctly installed and assembled, inspected and maintained and used properly;
  • Sites were well organised, to avoid trips and falls;
  • Walkways and stairs were kept free from obstruction;
  • Work areas were cleared of unnecessary materials and waste;
  • The risks associated with exposure to asbestos were managed correctly and carried out in accordance with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006 where applicable; and
  • The work force was made aware of risk control measures.
