Warehouses can be dangerous working environments if health and safety measures aren’t properly implemented.

If you’ve been injured in an accident whilst working in a warehouse, we may be able to help you to make a claim for the following types of accident:

• Falls from height
• Manual handling injuries
• Forklift truck accidents
• Head injuries
• Slips, trips and falls
• Electric shock

Employers have the legal duty to protect the health and safety of their employees in the workplace. In order to mitigate risks as far as reasonably possible your employer should:

• Conduct regular risk assessments to identify and eliminate possible hazards.
• Supply staff with the right PPE.
• Put in place measures to keep the warehouse clean, tidy and free from obstacles and spillages.
• Regularly inspect equipment to ensure it is in good working order.
• Ensure that staff are trained to work at height and in manual handling.
