Supermarket accident claims and safety

However much we might think of supermarkets as places of safety and efficiency, it is only careful health and safety planning that enables them to both appear and function in this way. Without such planning, it is possible for numerous hazards to transpire into accidents and, consequently, into supermarket accident claims.

Forklift accidents

Ensuring that supermarkets remain stocked to service the needs of the consumer represents a huge logistical task.

Lorries must bring deliveries of stock to vast storerooms, where they are then unloaded, often using forklift trucks, before eventually being transferred to supermarket aisles.

Fork lift trucks remain one of the UK's greatest workplace hazards and are involved in a disproportionate number of serious workplace injuries.

If a supermarket worker suffers injury in a collision with a forklift truck, compensation may be secured by making a supermarket accident claim.

Slips and trips

The list of supermarket products that can cause a slip and trip hazard is almost as long as list of products themselves.

From milk, juice and alcohol, to syrups, jams, cleaning products and fruit, any spillage of shelf stock can quickly become an emergency situation. Floor managers have a duty to ensure that aisles are free of hazards, otherwise supermarket accident claims may transpire.

Falling items

Due to the necessities of space, some supermarket items are placed at considerable height, from where, if not properly secured, they may fall and cause both shoppers and workers injury.
