Worried about claiming against your employer?
It is the responsibility of all construction firms to make sure that all safety procedures are regularly updated and precautionary measures are in place to prevent accidents. If you are injured as a result of negligence then they have not provided adequate duty of care. You shouldn’t worry about taking action against your place of work, they will be covered by insurance and by making a claim you could help reduce the risk of similar accidents happening in the future.

With all of the different machinery, processes, tools and materials you find in use on construction sites it is little wonder than accidents can and do happen. The construction industry in the UK today is virtually unrecognisable from what is was even just a few years ago, long gone are the days where you would see construction workers walking around sites with no protective equipment on show and instead hard hats, ear defenders, steel capped boots and eye goggles are now very much the norm. While such changes may not be universally welcomed by all, with the veterans of the industry mumbling that Health and Safety has gone mad and they cannot do their jobs as quickly as they used to, few can argue that accidents have reduced significantly.
While it isn’t always true and it can be dangerous to make sweeping statements about the construction industry as a whole, a number of the accidents we deal with seem to be caused by employers seeking to ‘cut corners’ either in terms of time or expenditure such as:-
Not replacing or maintaining tools or equipment properly.
Bringing in unqualified or inexperienced workers.
Using the wrong tools or equipment for the job.
Ignoring Health and Safety measures to save time.
Lack of supervision or enforcement of safety policies.
Bringing on to the site cut price contractors who do not adhere to safety policies.
Not following safety policies to save time.
Any of the above sound familiar? Of course not all construction accidents fall under the above headings but sadly all too many do – they are accidents that both could have and should have been avoided. Due to the hazardous nature of building sites there is a greater chance that the injuries sustained in such accidents will be serious enough to warrant time off work and other expenses compared to other working environments and this in itself can cause further problems. Often construction workers are not paid when they cannot work and so financial pressures quickly mount so you need fast, reliable advice with the promise that you keep 100% of your damages – that’s where The Claim Zone are here to help.
