Manufacturing Industry
A tragic accident at the Jaguar Land Rover plant in Speke, Liverpool whereby an employee was crushed to death sadly highlights the fact that the manufacturing industry can be a dangerous place to work.
According to the Labour Force Survey and statistics published by the Health and Safety Executive, 233,000 non-fatal injuries to workers across Britain were reported in 2009/2010, during which time a further 1.3 million people suffered an illness that was either caused or made worse by their current or previous employment.
In the UK, employers are subject to a duty of care that requires them to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of all their employees at work. Unfortunately, employers do not always adhere to this duty of care, which is why injured workers are sometimes required to take action through the Courts.
