Industrial Accident Claims
Industrial accidents refer to a wide range of complex claims – with varying degrees of details depending on the level of injury at the workplace. Although improved health and safety measures have ensured that industrial accidents are now on a steady decline, a few cases have been recorded in the past few years. If you have been in an industrial accident, our claim specialists at Claim Solutions Scotland Ltd can help.
What is an Industrial Accident?
An industrial accident refers to any accident that occurs in a workplace that causes physical harm or injury to an employee due to negligence on the part of the employer. Industrial accidents could include, but are not limited to trips or falls, exposure to harmful substances and radiation, head and brain injuries, eye injuries, back and spinal injuries, overexerting tasks, exposure to extreme climates and temperatures, and exposure to electrical currents.
Injuries suffered as a result of industrial accidents range from mild to severe, and even deadly. There are guidelines that guide an industrial environment – an employer must adhere to these regulations for the health and safety of an employee. Failure to do this would relate to negligence and you may be able to make a compensation claim.
Causes of Industrial Accidents
Industrial accidents are generally caused by disregard and neglect of health and safety standards by an employer. An industrial accident could occur when:
- There is lack of safety training for employees
- Inadequate provision or total lack of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Lack of maintenance and repair of industrial machineries
- Absence of safety signs to alert industrial workers to potential hazards.
