Office accident compensation is most likely to be sought for slips, trips and falls as they have been found to amount for 36% of injuries in the workplace.
Slips and trips can be caused by anything from uneven flooring to spillages. Though they are the most common type of accident in an office environment, they are also the most preventable and thousands of sick days taken each year could be avoided simply from tidier workplaces.
Last year there was an estimated 4.7 million sick days because of accidents at work which mostly were caused by slips, trips and falls in the office. Many of these will have resulted in work accident compensation claims being made for injuries which could easily have been avoided.
While most would associate work accidents with factories or building sites, office environments can often prove just as hazardous. Telephone cabling is often the culprit of trip accidents which can lead to leg injuries and bruising.
Office kitchen areas can also be a work accident hotspot due to the likelihood of spillages which can cause slips. Burns from kettles and spilt hot drinks are also a danger as well as food poisoning from poorly cleaned surfaces and cutlery.
Workplaces with strict health and safety policies are likely to have a lower accident at work rate and consequently the number of sick days is also likely to be lower.
Employers have a responsibility to provide their employees with safe working environments that will not threaten their health.
Keeping workplaces clean and tidy are simple ways to reduce the likelihood of a work accident and are in the interests of both the employee and the employer.
If you have suffered a work accident due the negligence of a third party, you could be eligible tp make a personal injury claim.
