Accidents in the workplaceare all too common happenings; although the ways in which such incidents occur can vary considerably from one case to another. Many employee compensation claims are a result of injuries sustained in potentially dangerous environments, such as on construction sites where danger is around every corner or in the agricultural industry. It is also common for accidents to occur in relatively safe environments such as office buildings; in fact, the education sector has one of the poorest records so far as accidents at work claims are concerned. As such, it is not an entirely straightforward task to identify the most common causes ofworkplace accidents.
According to the Health and Safety Executive, over 10,000 employees suffered a major injury as a result of a slip or trip in the workplace during the 2008/2009 period, whilst more than 4,000 employees sustained major injuries after falling from a height at work. In office environments, the most common causes of workplace accidents have been identified as those that give rise to slips or trips, so employers tend to consider potential hazards such as spillages, flooring and storage.
Workplace accident compensation is also often sought after injuries sustained by employees who have been provided with the wrong equipment or inadequate training. Ladders, for example, must be suitable for the task at hand, whilst safety harnesses, gloves, appropriate footwear and hard hats are some of the basic items of equipment that should be supplied to construction workers, engineers, labourers and so on in order to avoid injury.
