Simpson Sissons & Brooke Solicitors

Workplaces can quite easily become hazardous if employers do not adhere to strict rules about the maintenance of surfaces upon which employees are required to walk.

In many situations we have dealt with walkways which have been blocked by items which could quite properly have been stored somewhere else.

Inadequate management of cables adds to this risk.

We also see a large number of cases arising from the inadequate management and lack of procedures for dealing with spillages of fluids at work, together with issues arising out of the provision of appropriate footwear and correct materials for flooring surfaces.

Often disregarded as just being “tripping accidents” we have great knowledge of this area of law and have many successes in recovering compensation on behalf of those quite badly injured as a result of careless housekeeping.
