Your employer is under a duty to provide you with a safe place of work. If you have an accident due to an unsafe place of work such as something on the floor causing you to slip or trip and you are injured, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
Your employer is under a duty to provide you with competent staff in the workplace. If you are injured due to the negligence or fault of an employee you may have a claim for compensation against your employer who is vicariously liable for your colleagues actions.
Your employer is under a duty to ensure that the way you work is safe and that you are adequately trained to do the job. For example, if you are injured whilst lifting something at work and you have been trained on a safe way to lift you may be entitled to claim compensation.
If you are injured at work you should ALWAYS report it to your employer and make sure the accident is recorded in the accident book. If you have tripped or slipped on something at work, if you are able to, make sure you take photographs of what caused you to fall. If equipment is defective, try and obtain a photograph of the defect. If your injury needs medical attention, ensure you attend either your GP, A&E or Out of Hours for medical attention and make sure you mention how your accident happened and what injuries you sustained.
