Factory Accidents

As the UK’s TV brand leader, we’ve helped thousands of people claim 100% compensation for a range of accidents and injuries sustained in the workplace. Employees in factories are entitled to just the same protection as any other employee.

The employer has a duty to comply with all the relevant statutory requirements and regulations about safe working practices and safe premises in which to work. This includes making sure that factory floors are clear of slippery substances like grease, which can cause slipping accidents. Floors must also be kept clear of obstructions, and tripping hazards, like discarded plastic wrapping bands and trailing cables. Moving parts of machinery have to be safely guarded. Safety shoes and suitable gloves should be provided when there is a risk of foot injuries or injuries to the hands during the working process. Appropriate overalls should be provided if there is a danger of hot or toxic materials or liquids being scattered or splashed.

New factory employees should receive induction training into the safety procedures, and the employers should ensure that the safety rules are complied with at all times. It follows that where there are any breaches of these requirements, and accidents occur causing injury to employees, it may well be appropriate to make a factory accident claim.
