\"dangerous What constitutes a dangerous working practise?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many obvious cases of dangerous activities at work, such as working at height, but a dangerous working practise would be carrying out these activities without the proper safety equipment<\/strong> to reduce the chance of injury. Not having good site order is classed as a dangerous working practise – this is particularly important in the construction industry. Similarly, machinery should always be fitted with guards, especially around any moving parts, and stairs and walkways should be clear from obstacles. All companies should have a health and safety procedure<\/strong> that you should be informed of when starting your employment. Any changes to this procedure should also be distributed to staff.<\/p>\n

What steps can you take at work to prevent injury?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you feel that an activity at work is not safe to carry out, inform your employer about it immediately. It’s always better to prevent an injury before it happens. Advising your employer about improved safety equipment could save them money against costly insurance claims<\/strong>. Always ensure that you use the safety equipment provided, as failure to do so can prevent you from making a claim. Although your employer should enforce that safety equipment be used, it can be negligent on your part for not using it.
\n<\/p>\n

What happens if I get injured at work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’re entitled to make an accident at work claim<\/a> if your employer is at fault. Your employer should be covered by insurance<\/strong> so you should not be put off from claiming. Call The Injury Lawyers<\/a> today to obtain free legal advice<\/strong> about your claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
