A faulty dishwasher in a pub kitchen was the cause of an accident which injured a member of staff. The dishwasher had been reported to the landlord but no action was taken. The dishwasher was leaking a lot of water onto the floor and causing a slip hazard to all who work in the kitchen.
On the day of the accident, the employee didn’t see the large puddle of water on the floor and there were no warning signs in place. The employee slipped on the wet floor and landed very heavily, screaming in pain.
The employee was helped up by another member of staff and her clothes were wet . The accident was then recorded in the accident book. The landlord was made aware of the accident and the dishwasher was then repaired before any other accidents could happen.
The injured employee went to the doctors and was diagnosed with a lower back injury.

If you have been injured by a forklift truck through no fault of your own and were injured as a result, then a hit by a forklift truck injury claim may be possible with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.
There has been a case reported recently that happened at Burton-upon-Trent brewing company Molson Coors. The company at court were ordered to pay a £31,000 fine plus £33,042 in costs after pleading guilty to a breach of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
The court was told how an employee was hit by a forklift truck whilst unloading a trailer of empty cans.
The workers left leg became trapped when the forklift truck hit him, he suffered fractures to both his legs and left wrist. He has been unable to return to work due to the severity of his injuries.
A Health and Safety Inspector has said “This incident occurred because of inadequate risk assessments, poor management and monitoring of contractors, and managers failing to understand their responsibilities for health and safety. Not only had poor workplace transport arrangements persisted over many years, but Molson Coors also failed to follow previous advice from HSE. As a result, the worker was seriously injured in an incident that could have been easily been fatal. It is particularly disappointing to see such failings at a large company, which has the resources to deliver much better standards.”

An accident at work in May this year left a worker off work for seven weeks when his hand suffered serious injuries from a circular saw. The injuries will be permenant.
The twenty year old worker was using a table mounted circular saw at the time. His job involved cutting insulation foam.
As there was damage to the height adjustment mechanism, saw workers used to remove the safety guard so they could carry out their tasks. The table which the foam was on was also insufficient as it was not big enought to support the foam. This meant instead of using a push stick, the employees would support the foam by hand.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) carried out an investigation and found the employer had taken insufficient steps to protect workers.
Kestral Timber Frame Ltd bases in Lincolnshire were fined £6,700 and paid the legal costs of £4,117. They pleaded guilty to going against health and safety rules of providing their employees with insufficient equipment necessary to ensure they could carry out the task safely and correctly.

We have recently accepted such a case where our client was contracted as a carpenter on a building site. He was wearing work boots and walking across the ground when his foot dropped into a large hole. The hole was deep and covered by a thin piece of plywood and some stones that had been kicked over the plywood.
The client did not see the plywood which was wet and very flimsy. As he stood on it his right foot went through, he shouted in pain and a co worker heard him, saw the defect and said how dangerous it was.
There were no warning signs or barriers around the defect which was several inches in diameter and depth.
The client suffered a broken right foot and asked for our help in making a carpenter injury claim on a no win no fee basis.

If you work as a nurse and have suffered a slip injury which has left you injured, then you may be able to pursue a nurse slip claim with the help of the Accident Advice Bureau.
There has been such a case reported recently, which involved a senior staff nurse working at Southampton General Hospital in 2008. At the time of the accident she saw a confused patient trying to get out of their bed, so she went to help them.
As she walked over to help she slipped on a wet floor, hurting herself badly. Her right leg suffered multiple injuries resulting in her needing several operations. Sadly the operations have not led to a full recovery and she now needs crutches to aid her for the rest of her life.
She is now making a nurse slip at work injury claim where in papers submitted to the high court, they are arguing that there was no wet floor signs in place to show that the floor had been cleaned and was wet. The NHS Trust allegedly blames the cleaning contractors Medirest for not displaying warning signs.
All slip at work claims here at the Accident Advice Bureau are handled on a no win no fee basis where if the claim is won maximum compensation is awarded.
