The road sweeper is one of the unsung heroes of urban life. They work long hours patrolling our town and city streets for unsightly and unsanitary rubbish, keeping our roads and footpaths clean and safe for both us and our children. However, road sweeping is not a job without its occupational hazards, and a number of people from this profession have made successful work accident injury claims in recent years.
For example, in 2007 a Greater Manchester road sweeper received a personal injury settlement after his motorised road sweeper vehicle was involved in a collision with a car while he worked an early morning shift on a busy Manchester road.
However, drivers of motorised road sweepers are far less likely to suffer injury in a work accident than those who clean the streets with little more protection than a good pair of gloves, a broom and a portable bin unit. The hazards of this kind of work are clear and most accidents are usually of the slip and trip variety, with the risk of being hit by a moving vehicle also significant.
It fact, it can be said that road sweepers are one of the first lines of defence against ordinary members of the public suffering injury in a slip and trip accident. They perform a valuable community service by removing hazardous detritus such as build-up of wet leaves and general waste, as well as being alert to any uneven road or footpath service that might present a danger to the public.
