It is mandatory for every employer to take out insurance for any injuries that are sustained by their workers.  Contactors may also be covered depending on the type of contact they hold.  If you are not sure about this then by seeking legal advice, a ‘test’ can be taken to identify if you fall under a particular companies insurance. 

Workplace accidents include numerous types of injuries; some of the common injuries that may be claimed upon are;

• Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
• Back injuries
• Lacerations and partial amputations
• Injuries sustained due from slips, fall, and trips etc.

These types of injuries in particular can lead, if not treated and taken care of appropriately, to long term or permanent impairment.  The costs that an injured person can incur the future can be very high when you’re looking at, medical treatment, possible re-training, and economic loss.    For these reasons it is important for employers to sustain a high occupation health and safety level and keep track of any reports for danger.
