All employers are to ensure adequate steps are taken to ensure their employees are protected against the risk of suffering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Where these steps have not been taken, the employer could be seen to have been negligent. The effects of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome are the feeling of tingling, numbness, weakness and pain in the hands and wrists.

The main causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndromecaused at work is through using vibrating tools and repetitive movements of the hands and wrists, which may also be caused by prolonged heavy lifting at work.

Many employees who suffer Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, either in their current employment or from a previous employment, wish to make a workplace Carpal Tunnel Syndrome claim for compensation. The injury needs to be confirmed by a doctor.

In a recent survey, researchers from Which? discovered that one in two (50%) of the tools hired from hire chains are faulty.

The survey found damaged electrical cables, steam hoses with splits and broken and worn blades, making the equipment very dangerous.

This discovery has raised concerns that people carrying out work on their houses or handymen are being put in serious danger of being injured.

The survey tested equipment from branches of Brandon Hire, HSS, Jewson, Speedy, Travis Perkins and a few independent hire shops. All the companies, apart from HSS, hired out equipment which failed safety tests.

This research by Which? suggests that hire store staff are failing to check and maintain their equipment.

Which? chief executive, Peter Vicary-Smith, said: “DIY enthusiasts trust these stores to provide safe, reliable equipment, but half the tools we tested failed our rigorous tests and some could have caused serious injury. We expect higher standards from hire companies. They need to consistently check tools, if the stores we had visited had carried out effective basic checks, they would never have loaned out half of the equipment.”

If you have hired faulty equipment or been injured using faulty equipment at work, it may be possible to make a claim for injury compensation with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.

All hired faulty equipment injury claims, are worked on a no win no fee basis, where 100% of any injury compensation won is awarded.

The injured contestant has now left the show. The show is in its final season after starting a decade ago. Executives of the show are now concerned that she may take legal action against them for her injuries.

A source has stated “Technically she suffered an accident at work and like any employee she can seek legal advice to see if there is a case for compensation.”

A spokeswoman for Channel 4 added all the tasks that contestants are asked to complete in the Big Brother house are subject to a risk assessment from a health and safety expert before they are given the go-ahead.

The factory worker from Bridgend was left with a broken wrist and shoulder pain, after slipping on dust created by a shot blast, whilst working at a medical instruments manufacturer.

At the time of the accident the worker was unloading a barrel of acid in a walkway area near the blasting room. Whilst working here he lost his footing and slipped on debris as a result of the cleaning of blast machinery within the blasting room.

He still suffers from pain and restricted movement to his left shoulder with a condition sometimes known as swimmer’s shoulder.

Thousands of workplace kitchen accidents which cause injuries to employees happen every year. Some are due to unfortunate accidents and happen as a result of the employees own fault. However, many are due to employer negligence and can be avoided if full health and safety policies are adhered to by all employers and employees.

Many people are injured in the work kitchen through no fault of their own. This can be due to other workers leaving equipment lying around the kitchen causing a trip hazard, leaving wet and slippery floors causing a slip hazard or leaving knives and other sharp tools on the side, which could cut someone, which should be put away in a knife rack or drawer.

Drainage in the kitchens can cause problems if the drains become blocked due to excess food or rubbish being on the floor and getting brushed into the drain. Drains should be regularly inspected to ensure they are clear.

If any accident in the works kitchen happens, it should be reported to management and logged in the accident book.

To claim for being injured in the work kitchen, the injury must not have been your own fault and the injury must be sufficient to require medical attention from a doctor.
