Lifting Injury at Work

“If you have been injured at work as a result of your employer’s negligence then you may be able to make a claim for compensation” Graham Elmer, Senior Litigation Executive

Lifting Injury at Work

It is a sad fact that accidents at work happen every day. It is estimated by the HSE (Heath and Safety Executive) that over 100,000 workers a year are injured in the workplace.

Many workers sustain back injury as a result of lifting heavy items at work, with poor technique or inadequate support.  Lifting inuries can happen in any work environment: Construction accident, Factory accident, Industrial accident or Office accident. 

If a job involves lifting heavy boxes or other weighty objects, employees need to be fully instructed of how to lift properly. If not, and an injury occurs, the employer is at fault.

If you believe that your employer has failed in their duty to comply with safety regulations, and to take all practical steps to ensure safe working practices and a safe workplace, and it can be proved that injuries have arisen as a result of this failure, compensation may well be recoverable for a lifting at work injury claim.
