Accidents in the Office

Offices are not thought of as dangerous working environments as they don't have the dangers associated with construction sites, factories and other workplaces where there is working machinery. Yet every year significant numbers of injuries arise in offices leading to claims for compensation.

Many office injury claims arise as a result of inadequate seating and workstations arrangements - in some offices a bit of ergonomic planning would work wonders! Injuries resulting from inappropriate lifting, faulty electrical equipment, trips over trailing cables and other obstacles on the floor, slipping on worn or broken steps, all keep the Claims Advisers at Claims Justice busy!

If an employer fails to adhere carefully to the Health and Safety Regulations they are taking risks with your safety. They have a duty to comply with safety regulations and to take all practical steps to ensure that your working practices and your workplace are safe. If it can be proven that your injury has arisen as a result of their failure to keep to the Health and Safety Regulations, then you may well be able to win compensation for your office-based work injury claim.

Health and Safety Legislation to prevent office injuries

Offices and indeed every work place location, are subject to the UK 's Health and Safety Regulations. These place a duty on every employer to ensure that their offices and that their employees' work practices, are safe and comply with the Regulations.

Employers also have a responsibility to take appropriate precautions to prevent accidents happening in the office. For example, cables and wires must not stray across walkways and computer screens must not cause eye strain. Repetitive strain injuries must be avoided and wrist rests must be available whilst using a computer keyboard.

Prevention also involves training staff on safety matters as a practical way of helping them anticipate and avoid injury in the office. If your employer does not provide Health and Safety Training, this is further evidence of negligence and this may support your accident claim.


The causes of accidents in the office

C laims arising from work in offices frequently arise because of inadequate seating and workstations which lead to posture related injuries. Faulty equipment and lack of training in using equipment such as guillotines also create problems.

If you have suffered from an injury resulting from your office work, it's worth checking out whether you can claim for compensation especially if the injury has caused you to take time off work and you've lost money as a result.

Here are some of the injuries we hear about:

•  Tripping and falling - Trailing computer cables wires not tidied up. Falling over boxes left in circulation areas

•  Slipping and falling - Wet floors and icy car parks that haven't been gritted can cause broken bones and other nasty injuries.

•  Repetitive strain injuries - Poor ergonomic work stations and seating can lead to long-term arm and back injuries.

•  Lifting Injuries - If a job involves lifting any weighty object the employee must be fully trained how to lift properly. If training is not provided and an injury occurs, the employer is most certainly at fault.

•  Electric Shocks - Usually caused as a result of faulty equipment, untested electronics, faulty plugs and liquids being spilt on electrical equipment. Nasty injuries can result.

•  Carbon Monoxide Poisoning - Not many people think about this but it can be problem. It can occur if there are faulty appliances that burn fuel, such as gas boilers. Usually the gas is dispersed safely but if a leak occurs it can cause carbon monoxide poisoning for those in the vicinity.


Claiming Compensation

Every employer is required to have insurance to cover them against compensation claims from employees or indeed, any other third party. So you shouldn't be too concerned about making a claim as any compensation award will have to be paid by their insurance company.

It's also important for you to know that your employment cannot be terminated because you make an accident claim against your employer. That's the law in the UK .

It is also worthwhile remembering that by making an office injury claim, you may be helping to protect someone else in your office from experiencing the same accident.
