compensation following an accident

Call: 0800 10 757 95
In the last weeks of October for Halloween, and at some tourist destinations all year round, many individuals enjoy frightening themselves by walking through an interactive maze or series of rooms suitably decorated and filled with actors gruesomely disguised to jump out at visitors.
Although at most of these house-of-horror attractions the actors are not allowed to touch any of the visitors while they interact with them, so as to avoid the potential for a personal injury being caused by an actor to a visitor or visa versa, there could be cause for a work injury compensation claim being made by an actor if the decorations in the room or their disguise cause them harm.
In dark rooms or in rooms which are being lit by strobe-lights or are filled with dry-ice so as to create a spooky effect for visitors, actors might find that they cannot see clearly through their costumes and might suffer a slip, trip or fall accident.
Furthermore, set-pieces in a room could be poorly maintained or placed in a hazardous position, or a costume or make-up may be made of a substance which causes an allergic reaction in the employee.
To avoid these scenarios, visitors should be told that they are not allowed to bring in food and drink to avoid slip hazards in a dark environment, actors who suffer an allergic reaction to their costume or make-up should be given a new role which does not involve exposure to the problem, and the set should be carefully examined before use and maintained throughout its time at the premise.
Furthermore, decorations should be placed in areas which do not pose a trip hazard for the actors, or indeed the visitors who may also make a compensation claim for a personal injury.
