Serious accidents in the workplace are often due to some negligence of health and safety and no win no fee claims are often successful once it is proven that employers have not followed the health and safety regulations. Europe has played a significant part in providing regulations dealing with workplaces. There have been many European Directives and these have been significant in manual handling cases. More than a quarter of accidents reported each year are associated with manual handling. While fatal manual handling accidents are now very rare, there is still 35% of all cases that have injuries from accidents at work resulting from lifting carrying and handling. The management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992/99 require employers to make a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to the health and safety of the companies employees whilst at work. Basically so far as it is reasonably practical, employers should avoid manual handling operations which involve risk of injury. They should attempt the task to be carried out by automating or mechanising the process. If employers cannot eliminate the risk they have to assess the risk having regard to the task, working environment and individual capacity. They have to take appropriate steps to reduce risks to the lowest level practically reasonable. It is essential that they ensure that their employees partake in training courses to ensure that they are able to lift objects safely. The Work and Height Regulations were brought into effect in 2005. These require an employer to ensure that he plans any work form heights. That the person planning it must be competent to plan, that there is a correct risk assessment, one to avoid working at height and if this cannot be avoided to prevent a person falling by using safety equipment like netting, air bags, work equipment, personal harnesses. After all these regulations, if you are still unfortunate enough to be inured then at least you have the benefit of bringing an action against your employer under a no win no fee agreement. However in comparison to many countries our accident rates have been greatly improved by what insurance companies are calling a compensation culture. I am sure that many of us see the state of pavements in other European countries like Greece and wonder why nothing is done to prevent accidents to others. Perhaps if other countries had a no win no fee system and more punitive damages local authorities and employers would take more notice and improve the safety standards for all. |
