Employers have a statutory duty to ensure you do not suffer injury while working. This does not necessarily end at the work place. It can also include travelling and any other activities you are obliged or expected to do during your employment.
How am I covered for an Industrial Accident?
Typical reasons for winning compensation if you suffer from an industrial accident include faulty equipment, such as a broken ladder, dangerous machinery, such as unguarded equipment, and lack of care in ensuring a safe environment, such as leaving a loose cable which you might trip over.
Note that an employer’s liability for industrial accidents extends beyond equipment and buildings. They are also expected to ensure that all employees behave appropriately and abide by any safety rules. Thus, if your industrial accident is caused by another employee, e.g. you are hit by a vehicle they are driving, you are still entitled to claim accident compensation from your employer.
What should I do if I suffer from an industrial accident?
Firstly, you should make sure the event is recorded in the company accident book as an industrial-related accident. Check that the entry is accurate.
Don’t be persuaded to give your employer a detailed written account of the accident while you are still feeling stressed.
Ensure that, if necessary, the accident is reported to the appropriate authorities. There are strict rules governing the reporting of industrial accidents.
Contact us as soon as you can, while the accident is still fresh in your mind. Industrial accidents may be vigorously contested, and companies will be able to get very good advice. Make sure you do the same.
