A significant number of construction site accidents involve cherry pickers or other mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs) such as scissor lifts, access platforms, or aerial platforms.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), accidents involving cherry pickers account for 3% of all fatalities on construction sites, often while the machine is in use and operating at height.
The majority of accidents involving cherry pickers and MEWPs involve construction workers, with the most serious injuries including complex breaks and fractures, spinal injuries, nerve damage, and brain injury.
Talk to us about what happened to you today.
Most accidents occur due to inadequate training, negligent behaviour and faulty equipment and include:
The operator becomes trapped either between the basket and a fixed structure or against the controls, which can then not be turned off.
If the machine overturns, not only can the operator be thrown from the platform or basket potentially sustaining serious injury, but others can be crushed or hurt as the result of falling equipment.
If an operator falls from the basket while the MEWP is in use they are likely to fall from a significant height, resulting in serious injury. Items falling from the basket can also cause significant harm to anyone nearby.
MEWPs can collide with other vehicles, pedestrians or overhead cables resulting in serious harm or fatalities. Whether your injuries are relatively minor or you are suffering from severe and long-term consequences, if you have been involved in a cherry picker or MEWP accident through the fault or negligence of someone else then we can help.
Yes, to meet health and safety standards employees must be fully trained before using a cherry picker to ensure they know how to operate the machinery without putting themselves or others at risk.
This traning must be updated regularly. You need to pass a course certified by IPAF to work with cherry pickers.
The safety equipment necessary when using a cherry picker includes a full body harness and a short, self-retractable lanyard, a safety helmet, high-vis clothing, gloves, eye protection, and steel toe capped boots.

Richard Layfield LLB
Solicitor - Head of Personal Injury
I've been a Solicitor at PSR Solicitors since March 2013 and am head of Personal Injury throughout the firm as well as having full responsibility for managing the Rhyl office.
I completed both my Law LLB and LPC degrees at Cardiff University, graduating in 2008 and 2009 respectively. Thereafter, I completed my 2-year training contract at a firm based in Cardiff, then I was retained by this firm as a Criminal Defence Solicitor until I decided to relocate up to North Wales.
As an experienced personal injury and civil litigation Solicitor, I represent Claimants in all manner of personal injury case work including injuries as a result of Road Traffic Accidents, Accidents at Work, and Occupiers Liability Accidents. I handle all types off personal injury claims from the minor right through to complex, serious injury claims.
Outside of work I'm a keen rugby fan, who enjoys running and travel.

Paul Rossiter
Paul Rossiter LLB Law
Managing Director
I qualified as a solicitor in 1998 and worked as a Personal Injury Specialist throughout my legal career, dealing with high value serious injury cases obtaining both compensation and rehabilitation for my clients. I was a member of APIL (Association Of Personal injury Lawyers) and recognised by the Law Society as being a Senior Personal Injury Solicitor.
After working in various law firms, both small high street firms and a larger practice in Manchester, I saw a gap in the market for a high quality practice that had the same core high street values of being personable and approachable and combining them with the efficiency and professionalism of a larger practice. PSR Solicitors was therefore established in 2009 and since then PSR Solicitors has provided high quality legal services to local clients throughout North Wales and Cheshire.
I live in Chester with my young family and 2 dogs and enjoy regular holidays along the coast of North Wales and Ibiza.
I have recently been asked to join the board of trustees at Platform For Life, a mental health counselling charity in Chester. Good mental health is the foundation of a more fulfilled, happy and healthy life, yet many families struggle to access the help and support they need to achieve it. Platform for Life offers free local counselling and play therapy for families who would otherwise not be able to afford it.

Mark House LLB
Solicitor - Head of Litigation
USUAL LOCATIONS: Shotton Office, Wrexham Office, Colwyn Bay Office, Wallasey Office
I completed my law degree and legal practice course at Nottingham Law School, before qualifying as a solicitor in 2004. I then worked at a specialist personal injury firm in the East Midlands and a leading regional firm, before joining PSR in 2017.
With PSR I've continued to specialise in acting for Personal Injury claimants and have developed a keen understanding of the procedures and tactics involved in pursuing a claim, as well as the difficulties and concerns faced by people who have suffered as the result of an accident.
Since 2014 I've been proud to help hundreds of people. I've represented the public in all manner of injury claims, including serious orthopaedic injuries, brain damage, and psychological trauma. I was instructed to deal with claims for clients in the aftermath of the Potters Bar rail crash and the Penhallow hotel fire.
In addition, I represent clients in relation to all manner of disputes. I have dealt with professional negligence claims, such as those against solicitors and builders. I have helped clients recover money which is due to them and to dispute invoices which have been sent to them. I have helped business defend claims against them. I have tackled neighbour and boundary disputes.
I live locally to the Colwyn Bay office, and outside of work, I enjoy taking advantage of the coastal and mountain outdoor activities which are available on the doorstep. I'm also heavily involved with an outdoor pursuits charity, which I find an enjoyable and rewarding way of using my free time.
