Lifting injuries

The Health & Safety Executive believes that 1/3 of all injuries that causes a work absence of more than three days arises from lifting injuries. Such injuries can arise from a variety of places from building sites to factories, office warehouses, hospitals, banks, laboratories, care homes, farms or shops. Following the implementation of the Manual Handling Regulations 1992 your employer is under a duty to:-

• avoid the need for hazardous manual handling so far as it is reasonable practicable;
• assess the risk of injury from any hazardous manual handling that cannot be avoided; and
• reduce the risk of injury from hazardous manual handling so far is reasonably practicable.

You might be entitled to compensation if your employer has been negligent that led to you injuring whilst lifting carrying of moving an object at work.

The lawyers at we solicitors have years of extensive experience in representing the victims of negligence in the workplace and ensure that you get the maximum compensation you are entitled to.
