Manufacturing and Production Accidents

COMMON CAUSES OF MANUFACTURING AND PRODUCTION ACCIDENTS

Manufacturing and production covers a wide range of sectors, including engineering, woodwork, food and drink, molten metals, plastics and paper making. There are a number of reasons why an incident might occur, including:

• Faulty or defective machinery
• Inadequate safety guards and equipment
• Lack of safety signs
• Repetitive motions
• Falling objects
• Exposure to hazardous chemicals and substances
• Slips, trips and falls

AN EMPLOYER’S DUTY

Due to the high-risk nature of working on manufacturing and production lines, it is an employer’s responsibility to make sure adequate safety precautions are in place to ensure all workers are kept safe. This includes providing adequate safety gear and training, and regularly maintaining equipment.

If you feel your employer has failed to protect you while at work, then they have breached their legal duty and you should seek advice from Ramsdens Solicitors’ personal injury department.
