Accidents in the workplace are a common occurrence and can happen in any industry. Your employer has an obligation to ensure the health and safety of all employees and failure to meet this commitment can have unfortunate consequences. Anyone that has suffered from an accident at work needs to keep a few essential points in mind. The following is a brief description of the steps you may need to take in order to make a successful claim:

1) Report the Accident

Immediately report the accident to a supervisor/manager and ask for the necessary medical aid. Every work place is mandated by law to have an accident book and any work related accident – regardless of how minor it may be – should be recorded in the book.

2) Make a Note of What Happened

In order to keep the incident fresh in the memory, it is important to write down what happened. Speak to potential witnesses and get their opinion too. If possible, take pictures of the area where the accident happened as photographic evidence is useful for determining the cause and location of the accident.

3) See a Doctor/GP

If you have picked up an injury from the accident, it is important to see a doctor to not only have your injuries treated but also to have a medical record of the injuries.

4) Keep a Record of any Expenses

If you have incurred any expenses as a result of the accident, make a record of them and keep any receipts. Expenses can include things like loss of income, medical expenses, travel expenses when travelling to hospital etc.

5) Contact a Personal Injury Solicitor

To discuss your accident and find out whether you are eligible to claim, call a personal injury solicitor. Making a successful accident at work claim can take a considerable amount of effort and patience. From building a foolproof case to dealing with insurance companies, there are many factors at play when seeking compensation for injuries obtained at work. As experienced personal injury solicitors, Savas and Savage have dealt with every type of accident in the workplace claim, and we can take the load of your shoulders by making the claim on your behalf.

Simple steps to Reduce Stress at Work

admin — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 10:23:48 +0000

Whilst a small amount of stress at work is considered normal, too much stress can have a severe impact on one’s health. The aptitude to deal with stress varies from person to person. Some people deal with stress relatively comfortably whilst others find that it overwhelms them. For those that struggle with stress at work, the issue can have major physical and psychological repercussions. Fortunately, however, there are some simple steps you can take that will help you to reduce stress at work and give you a platform to remove anxiety and tension.

Take more breaks from work – Take short breaks every time you feel a headache or any sort of tension coming on. A little 5-10 minute walk can recharge your batteries and keep you going for a longer period of time.

Eat in moderation – Eating too much can leave you feeling lethargic and tired and make the work day even more difficult. Healthy, moderate eating is vital as it provides you with the requisite energy to perform your daily tasks.

Exercise – Aerobic exercises are proven to reduce stress levels, provide stimulation and serenity and help fight depression. Exercising up to 20-30 minutes, 4-5 days a week helps to reduce stress levels and provides you with the added bonus of improving physical health and fitness.

Reduce caffeine intake – Drinking 4-5 cups of coffee a day can make the body act as if it is under stress, according to findings in the US. The combination of too much caffeine and work stress can increase the blood pressure significantly and increases the risk of long-term heart disease.

Do not skip lunch or work whilst having lunch – A study by Aviva Health has revealed one in three workers skip lunch due to time restraints with many more eating and working at the same time. Research showed those that skipped lunch or ate whilst working had higher levels of stress.

Reduce clutter around your workspace – Make whatever adjustments you need to make your workplace less cluttered and more organized. Try to set up a workspace that is right for you.

If you feel you are being put under excessive stress at work, your employer should be notified and he/she should take the necessary steps to rectify the problem. If the employer fails to take control of the problem and the stress issues persist, you may be entitled to claim compensation. It can be difficult to prove a psychiatric illness such as stress so it is advisable to employ the services of experienced solicitors when considering a claim.
