Warehouses are busy environments, therefore representing a dangerous place to work at the best of times. However, warehouse injuries are much more likely to occur if employers do not take the necessary precautions to keep workers protected from a warehouse accident.
Common causes of warehouse accidents
There are many potential hazards in a warehouse that can result in an injury, including:
- Falling objects
- Slips, trips and falls
- Defective machinery
- Falls from height
- Manual handling
- Fork lift truck incidents
It is an employer’s duty to ensure health and safety regulations are implemented and followed to avoid warehouse accidents happening. This can be achieved by displaying safety signs in high-risk areas, providing personal protective equipment, conducting training and carrying out regular risk assessments.
If an employer fails their duty and you are injured as a consequence, we recommend that you to get legal advice from an experienced solicitor to find out if you can claim compensation.
