• Unsafe scaffolding or platforms

• Lack of proper training or supervision
• Failure to provide harnesses or fall arrest systems

Our workplace injury lawyers will investigate the circumstances of your accident and identify who is responsible for your injuries.

Employer Responsibilities for Work at Height

Employers must comply with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, ensuring safe equipment, provide suitable safety equipment and proper training, carry out risk assessments and ensure that all work is properly supervised. If they fail, you have the right to claim compensation.

If your employer failed to take reasonable steps to keep you safe, you may have strong grounds for a compensation claim. Our solicitors will collect the evidence needed to support your case and ensure your rights are protected throughout the process.
