How to Make an Accident at Work Claim

Who is responsible for an accident at work?

Your employers have a duty to keep you safe whilst at work, and are obligated to:

• Ensure safe workplaces and working systems.

• Make sure that you and your colleagues are properly trained and competent.

• Provide you with suitable work and personal protective equipment, such as appropriate footwear, gloves etc.

• Take steps to minimise risks to the health and safety of their staff.

• Undertake risk assessments.

• Perform regular inspections to the working environment and equipment.

• Ensure that all equipment is fully functioning and safe for staff to use.

Unfortunately, some employers do not adhere to health and safety standards as they should, and do not take the appropriate steps to ensure a safe working environment for their employees.

What are my rights after an accident at work?
