A work injury would normally be thought of as involving a compensation claim being made by an employee against his or her employer. However, it is still the case that some work related accidents occur in situations where people are injured by work going on around them - sometimes involving unprotected holes.
The classic example, of course, is a manhole left without its cover while workers go about their job beneath. Perhaps as a result of it being such a well-known risk, the sight of warning tape protecting pedestrians from such hazards is a familiar one, and one that protects against the risk of personal injury.
Others are possible. The 2008 example of an 81-year-old Windsor woman who fell through an unguarded floor hatch while central heating engineers worked elsewhere in a property was held by the Health and Safety Executive to be a work accident deserving of a fine. It was also said to be one of four other serious examples in the Home Counties that year.
It is also possible for any operations taking place in a work environment where floor space is opened, or building is taking place, to create a fall hazard in that environment. If this occurs, part of the appropriate behaviour to avoid personal injury (and related compensation claims) is to prepare and follow a risk assessment to ensure as little danger is created as possible.
Failure to provide appropriate care to employees, clients or bystanders may open a company to potential litigation.
