Working within the horse racing industry is notoriously dangerous which unfortunately makes work accidents common. Due to the highly strung nature of racehorses, they can spook easily making them highly dangerous to handle. One strike of well aimed hoof can be enough to cause serious injury or even death.
The tragic death of Australian race horse trainer Pat Quinn in 2009 sadly illustrates just how even experienced handlers are not safe from the dangers that horses pose. While preparing his runner to race, Quinn, 63, was pinned against the rails by the horse causing him to sustain serious injuries which he later died from.
Work related accidents in the racing industry
Employers in the racing industry have a responsibility for the safety of their staff. They must ensure that the greatest precautions are made to ensure hazards are kept to an absolute minimum. If they neglect this responsibility and their staff sustain personal injuries as a result, they could face legal action.
Inadequate training of stable hands, an insufficient amount of staff to deal with unruly horses and poor protective gear are all contributing factors to work-related accidents and staff injuries. If a work accident is found to have been caused by employer negligence, compensation claims can be made for damages caused by the personal injuries suffered.
