I am suffering as a result of an accident at work. How can I claim?
Work Injury Claim
Safety at our place of work is paramount, both for the employees and their continued well-being as well as for the employer as injuries only automatically lead to slowing down or halting of productivity, signifying a loss of profit.
As obvious as that may sound, and as stringent as legislation is covering safety at work, it is a truly unfortunate statistic that a very high proportion of injuries occurring to workers could, and in fact should, be avoided.
Even in this day and age, not enough employers put the safety and health of their employees at the top of their priorities, often preferring to risk employees’ well-being and lives in the name of faster turnaround of work and profitability, or worse still, citing cost-cutting measures as an excuse to not provide all the measures guaranteed at law.
Contrary to popular thought, work-related injuries do not only occur due to a lack of safety measures as might be hard hats, boots or restraints, but also in a very high proportion, due to an improper supply of equipment and tools, wrong procedures and impositions as well as a deficiency in on-the-job training and safety awareness. These lacks change the notion of accidents on the work place from simple unfortunate incidents to a culpable shortcoming for which the workers cannot be expected to shoulder the blame and above all, the consequences.
If you are the victim of an accident while carrying out your duties at work, or are suffering from physical or psychological injuries brought on by your working conditions, you need to know that the law is firmly on your side!
