Heavy lifting at work is one of the most common causes of workplace injuries.

Back injuries are the most common result of manual handling accidents, in England and Wales up to 5 million working days are lost due to back pain every year.

Lifting at work injury claim

Whatever the type of work you do, if your job involves lifting of any kind then you may be at risk of an injury. Camps Solicitors has many years experience pursuing leg injury claims, back injury claims and arm injury claims for people injured as a result of unsafe working practices involving heavy lifting.

According to health and safety regulations, employers have a duty to minimise the risk of injuries caused by heavy lifting by controlling the way their employees perform their duties. It is impossible to completely remove the risk of injury from manual handling in the workplace, but it is the responsibility of employers to adopt measures to ensure that the risks of injury are minimised.

Sensible manual handling practices should be a priority for any business, if you have been injured as a result of an accident involving manual handling, then it may be possible to make a claim for negligence against your employer. All companies should have insurance policies designed to cover them in the event of any accidents or injuries, so as long as you have worked for 12 months, your job will not be at risk.
