Accidents at Work
By law, an employer has to protect the health, safety and welfare at work of those they employer. They have to make sure the workplace is safe and without risk to health. As part of these duties, employers must, amongst other things:-
- Make sure that plant and machinery are safe and regularly maintained, and that the systems used in the workplace are safe
- Provide protective clothing where necessary
- Reduce manual handling to its lowest level reasonably practicable
- Report certain diseases and injuries to the relevant authority
- Provide adequate and safety equipment and facilities
- Take precautions against fire and provide adequate means of escape and means of fighting fire
- Assess the risks that might be involved in work practices.
- Provide safe traffic routes.
Every day employers fail in their duty to protect their employees, often resulting in personal injury and even death. At ASD our expert Solicitors fight to ensure the best possible outcome for our clients.

Construction Site Injuries
It is likely that the main contractor will have overall responsibility for site workers, even if they are not directly employed by them. Construction is a high risk environment. The HSE estimates that construction sites accounted for 27% of fatal accidents and 9% of serious injuries in 2010. Our Solicitors have been instructed to act in numerous cases where serious injury has resulted from accidents at construction sites.
Defective Equipment Injuries
The employer has an absolute duty to make sure that work equipment is suitable, maintained and inspected. The definition of work equipment is very wide. Our Solicitors have never lost a case where a client has suffered injury as a result of a defective piece or work equipment.
