There is an old show business aphorism coined by the great W.C Fields telling us that we should never work with children or animals. Obviously, in most sectors, working with children is illegal (unless of course they are the subjects of care) but in others, working with animals is unavoidable. Unfortunately, for many who are forced into making work injury compensation claims for animal accidents, this aphorism seems all too true.
Work injury compensation claims resulting from animal accidents are much more common than many people would think. According to Health and Safety statistics for 2005/06 there were 1,116 workplace injuries caused by animals in the UK during that calendar year.
This is by no means a trivial number, outstripping even the number of injuries caused respectively by exposure to fires, exposure to explosions, asphyxiation and electrocution.
The problem with working with animals is that, even more so than humans, they are liable to behave in an unpredictable and erratic manner. The consequences of this can be serious, making proper risk assessment a vital tool in the prevention of injury and accident.
Various pieces of legislation and regulation work together to ensure that the risk is kept to a manageable level. These include the Animals Act 1971, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1994, the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992.
