Understanding an Unsafe Working Environment.

Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers are obligated to ensure that correct safety measures are taken to protect their employees from injuries. Failing to do so constitutes negligence and gives you, the victim, the right to seek legal counsel.

There are several common unsafe working environment conditions, including:

If you have suffered a workplace accident as a result of your employer's failure to conduct a thorough risk assessment to ensure your safety, and you’re seeking legal advice, we can provide you with support and guidance.

Injuries In Unsafe Workplaces

Unsafe Working Conditions can lead to serious injuries that sometimes require long-term medical assistance and rehabilitation or even leave you permanently disabled. Medical costs or scans also add up quickly, leaving you struggling through no fault of your own.

Depending on where you work and the safety measures lacking, there are many types of injuries that can occur, including:

Slip, trips and falls
Back or spinal injuries
Burns or Chemical exposure
Head injuries
Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)

Under British law, your employer is fully responsible for ensuring your work environment is safe and regular assessments are carried out to address any safety concerns that are raised. If they don't adhere to these rules and you find yourself injured as a result this could be grounds for compensation.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 states that employers are fully responsible for creating a safe working environment to ensure the safety of their employees and failing to do so makes them liable for any damages should an accident occur. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulation 1999 makes it clear that regular risk assessments should be carried out to prevent such accidents from happening.

In many cases of negligence legal action is required for a claim to be processed. You will need to prove that your accident was the result of negligence and provide evidence to that effect.

At PSR Solicitors, we have proven experience of working cases relating to unsafe work practices. We can guide you through the process, advise on what your options are and represent you in legal settings should the need arise. Our approach ensures your case is assessed thoroughly and your unique circumstances are taken into account when planning our strategy.

To proceed with your Unsafe Work Environment Claim you will be required to provide evidence to prove that your employer is liable for the injury you sustained. This is a crucial part of the process if you have been injured at work so gathering and keeping all documents is essential.

Gathering Evidence

Evidence that shows your workplace environment was unsafe can provide your case with a good foundation. Photographs of the location, witness statements or relevant incident reports can all be used to strengthen your claim.

Medical Records

Seeing a medical professional and requesting a written statement about your injury is crucial. Regardless of the severity of your injury, see a doctor and ask them to document the evidence of your injury. If you have required hospitalisation, request your files and submit them as part of your claim.

Accident Logbook

Companies are required by law to keep an accident logbook to record any accidents that take place at the workplace. Ensure your incident is recorded in detail so you can refer back to your report should the need arise for it.

It’s important to be aware that there is a time limit for filing an unsafe work area claim.

You have 3 years from the date the incident occurred to make a claim, however; there are expectations to the case if you were under the age of 18 at the time of the accident, in which case the time limit is suspended until you reach adulthood.

The amount you receive should your claim be successful depends entirely on your personal circumstances. The severity of the accident plays a big role in that, as well as how it affects your life long-term. Additional damages may be added for any medical expenses or loss of earnings due to not being able to work.
