Slips, trips and falls at work
Hazards which might cause a person to fall, such as by slipping or tripping, exist in many areas of life, not just the workplace. But for some, the risk of a slip or a trip is greater at work.
- Supermarket or other shop workers are often at greater risk from spillages due to the amount of stock being moved by other staff and by customers
- Factory workers are often at risk from substances on the floor from machinery or components
- Construction, communications and utilities workers are often required to work at height
Whatever your situation, it is important you get advice from experts in workplace accident compensation claims. When it comes to safety of floors in a workplace, an employer’s duty of care is different from, say, the duty a council has about a pavement.
For workers who are injured after falling from height, there is a specific set of regulations which apply to those tasks. Those regulations impose some important responsibilities on an employer.

What our clients say
- I would like to thank Stephen Irvine for the professional service in my industrial disease case. He provided patience, empathy and kindness. At every turn he provided good, sensible advice. No stone was left unturned in preparing the case, and all expert witness reports were obtained. Any questions were always answered as Mr Irvine was always available to deal with issues and things I did not understand. The outcome was a settlement that I was happy with, and Mr Irvine did your firm proud.
