An accident in a coldroom freezer can result in an accident claim being made by an injured employee, if the accident was not their own fault.

Supermarkets that sell frozen food have coldroom freezers where the temperature is at least minus 18 degrees and stock is stored in here before it goes into the freezer cabinets on the shop floor.

The work place coldrooms are checked regularly to ensure the correct temperature is maintained. There are cases when the fans in the cold rooms have failed as they are clogged up with ice, which when chipped away stays on the floor. There are also times when ice has been on the floor for other reasons causing a slip accident in a coldroom.

Any accident in the work coldroom freezer should be reported to management and logged in the accident book.

Any accident in a coldroom we accept will be handled by a specialist accident at work solicitor and their job is to determine liability. If the employer is found to be liable for the accident, the solicitor will arrange a medical assessment so the full extent of the injury is known and the level of compensation is worked around this report.
