General accident cases and injuries at work
Workplace incidents that can lead
to injuries and possible claims for compensation
Accidents may also happen through
seemingly innocuous circumstances involving things such as lighting,
cleaning and the condition of floors and traffic routes in the workplace.
Even the layout of a workstation could potentially cause an accident to an
employee.
Of relevance are the
Workplace
(Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. These apply to all
workplaces except ships, constructions sites and mining operations.

Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare)
Regulations 1992
In the main these provisions amongst
others provide that any workplace equipment and systems must be maintained in a
good state of repair and efficient working order. Ventilation must be adequate
and lighting suitable. All furniture, fittings, floors, walls and ceilings
should be kept clean and waste should not be allowed to accumulate. Measures
should also be taken to ensure that employees are not injured by falling
objects.
Of particular importance is the fact
that all floors and traffic routes should be suitable for use. In that there
should not be any holes, slopes, unevenness or slippery surface that could
expose an employee to a risk of injury. The floors and traffic routes should
also be free of obstructions or items that may cause an employee to slip, trip
or fall.
If you have had an accident and do
not feel that these Regulations were compiled with or that you had received
inadequate training then please contact us for a chat today.
