Do You Need Company Compensation?
After a work related injury, you may struggle with the decision to file a claim for company compensation. It is understandable that you may want to maintain loyalty to your place of employment. It is also normal to feel anxiety about filing a claim against the people you expect to continue to work for. On the other hand, you need to carefully consider the affects that your injury has had on your personal finances and on your family. The losses incurred from your injuries and damages can severely alter the quality of your life and your family's. It is common sense to believe that a company is responsible for the safety and well being of its employees. If your injury is a result of employer negligence, you have every right to be compensated.
Employer negligence can take many forms. The following are examples of mistakes made by employers that can hurt employees:
- Faulty Machinery;
- Improper Training;
- Improper Equipment Maintenance;
- Lack of Emergency Plans;
- Hazardous Chemicals and Waste;
- Properly maintained facilities;
- Provision of Appropriate Safety equipment.
Get company compensation if one of these situations apply to your case
1. Faulty machinery may include equipment that is old and should have been replaced or equipment run without safety pieces. If a piece of equipment is supposed to be run only with protective covering, it must be shut down if that covering is unavailable. Improper labeling of machinery may also affect the safety of equipment. For example, if a steam valve is mislabeled as a water valve when opened you could get severely burnt, there you have a strong claim.
2. Improper training can put you and everyone around you in danger. For example, if you are not aware of the dangers of a chemical, you could accidentally expose yourself and everyone else in the vicinity. Appropriate training is essential to maintain the health of everyone on the premises.
3. Improper equipment maintenance may cause severe injuries. If a large piece of equipment is not properly supported and it falls, it is the responsibility of the employer. When an operating or maintenance manual calls for certain maintenance procedures, it is up to the employer to make sure that a maintenance schedule is in place to ensure the safety of anyone using or who is in constant contact with that equipment.
4. An employer must supply emergency plans in case of a fire, natural disaster, or chemical leak. Injuries resulting from the lack of emergency planning are the responsibility of the employer.
5. Hazardous chemicals and waste must be handled with extreme care. All employees should be notified of the dangers of each chemical and given training to deal with them. Chemicals must be properly stored. For example, highly flammable chemicals should be stored in a flame proof cabinet.
6. Facilities for work or rest must be properly maintained to guard the health of those using them. This includes lighting, ventilation, adequate walking surfaces (including stairs and guardrails) and anything else pertaining to a safe environment.
7. Safety equipment is to be provided by employers. In heavy industrial areas, safety helmets and steel toed boots are usually needed. In areas of chemical usage, goggles and appropriate chemical resistant suits will be needed. Each working environment must be carefully analysed to decide which pieces of safety equipment will best protect the employees.
