100% compensation<\/a> for work accident compensation claims<\/i><\/p>\n

Warehouses can be inherently dangerous places, and they are often fraught with potential hazards. Employees who work in a warehouse are clearly at risk of injury, so health and safety standards in a warehouse must be particularly high!<\/p>\n

So what are your rights if you have had a fall in a warehouse due to rubbish or debris in the warehouse being a hazard? Can you make a claim for personal injury compensation?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Law<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Under Regulation 12 of The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, your employer has a specific duty when it comes to the conditions of floors and walkways in the place of work. The relevant part for the purposes of this article states:<\/p>\n

(3) So far as is reasonably practicable, every floor in a workplace and the surface of every traffic route in a workplace shall be kept free from obstructions and from any article or substance which may cause a person to slip, trip or fall.<\/i><\/p>\n

So there you have it \u2013 there is a duty on your employer to ensure that debris and rubbish does not allow to accumulate in walkways or in traffic routes and cause a hazard. As such, there should be policies and training for staff when it comes to the safe disposal of such things, and bins and other receptacles should be provided to allow for this.<\/p>\n

There should also be general inspection and cleaning regimes as well to make sure any hazards are spotted and sorted out right away.<\/p>\n

How do I make a claim?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

If this has happened to you, call our expert claims team on 0800 634 75 75 today because we can likely offer a No Win, No Fee guarantee<\/a> for a claim, you could be owed thousands of pounds in compensation for injuries and losses caused by an accident.<\/p>\n

We also offer 100% compensation agreements<\/a> for workplace claims<\/a>, despite other lawyers now taking 25% from your claim due to government legal fee reforms from last year.<\/p>\n
