The day that you have been dreaming of has arrived and has actually been available for a few years presently.

Landlord Premises Liability Building Slip, Trip and Falls Claims

In a slip and fall case, the law will determine if the landlord or property owner took necessary actions to ensure property safety.

The term “slip and fall” is used to describe a case where a person slips or trips and falls as the result of negligence of the property owner.

Slips and falls in a building, have included:

slippery, wet floors
abrupt changes in floor elevations
poor lighting
broken or missing stair railings
torn carpets
defective stairs.

Dangerous conditions outside a building can include broken and uneven sidewalks, potholes, a sink in the ground, ice or snow on the ground, faulty stairs and hand railings.

Sidewalk cracks and uneven ground also can be a cause of premises trip and fall hazard.

Who’s Responsible for My Slip and Fall Injuries?

Slip and fall claims are not black and white. So many factors need to be determined if a tenant or third party suffers a slip and fall injury on a rental property.

The most important question will be, did the landlord / property owner act reasonably and carefully to prevent the possibility of a hazardous slip and fall accident?

It must be proven that

What are the typical injuries and illnesses that are claimed for in workplace accidents and industrial disease claims?

Many personal injury claims arise where individuals have developed an illness or suffered injury as a result of substandard working conditions. According to the Health and Safety Executive, in 2009/10 there were 1.3m people suffering from an illness they believed was caused or worsened by their existing job or past work. During the same period, 26,061 reported injuries to employees were classified as major injuries, particularly falls from heights.

Employers have a legal duty under health and safety legislation to ensure their employees’ health, safety and welfare are protected in the workplace – but industrial disease and injury remains a major issue.

Workplace injuries

Industrial injuries commonly occur on construction sites and in factories but can happen in other workplaces such as restaurants, for example. Common workplace accidents that may give rise to an industrial personal injury claim include:

. Construction or warehouse accidents: these can cause serious injuries to head, back and limbs through a lack of training and or supervision.
. Factory accidents: typical injuries can include trapped fingers or limbs, falls and cuts, burns, and back injuries.
/>. Heavy machinery/equipment based accidents: a wide range of injuries could occur including cuts and burns, fractures, and serious injuries such as loss of limbs.
. Office accidents: these usually cause relatively minor injuries however back injuries and fractures may easily occur when for instance, carrying heavy files or inadequate office seating.

Essentially the workplace, if not made appropriately safe for employees to work, can be a dangerous place and there is always the possibility that someone will be injured, leading to a personal injury claim against an employer.

Industrial diseases
There are many types of industrial illnesses, the most common including asbestosis and mesothelioma caused by exposure to asbestos dust and skin diseases and conditions caused by different types of chemical irritants.

Other industrial diseases or conditions that may give rise to a compensation claim include:

. Deafness: a worker may be able to claim for permanent or partial hearing loss caused by exposure to industrial noise during the course of his work. Claims may also be made for cases of tinnitus.
. Musculoskeletal disorders: conditions of joints, muscles and tendons such as

Guide to Electrical Safety According to Construction Safety Regulations

A construction site is prone to disasters caused by electricity. It is, therefore, paramount that those that work in construction pay a good deal of attention to the prevention of such disasters. Regulation 64 of the Construction Safety Regulations was drafted for this purpose. Below you will find the general requirements for this safety regulation.

1. If you don’t intend to use a generator, make sure that the mains power is up before starting construction work. Never rely on a power supply from adjacent properties since this poses many more problems than it does benefits.

2. One main switchboard must be present in the site. This main switchboard must be well protected and easily accessible. Furthermore, this switchboard must be placed as close as possible to road level and must be built of high-strength material.

3. Distribution boards must be made easily accessible. If the construction work is done on a multi-leveled structure, each level must have a distribution board for easy access. Make it a point not to have flexible cords sprawled across levels unless this is required when working in elevator shafts, stair-wells and for other work that are done simultaneously on multiple

What Is A Home Security Audit?

If you have read many articles on home security online, or spoken to professionals about the safety of your residence, you may have heard the term “home security audit.” This refers to an assessment of your current home security, including the security system and the structure and property. A home security audit should be performed at least annually to ensure that you have noticed and addressed any changes or problems that may arise.

How to perform a home security audit?

If you have never done one before, or if you are just trying to brush up your skills and make sure that you are doing this process correctly, here are some of the basics of this kind of audit.

Do it with someone else. Two perspectives are more valuable than one, and someone who does not live in the house may be able to spot things that you overlook. Bring a friend or neighbor or even one of your children with you as you examine the interior and exterior of your home.
Look both at night and during the day. You will notice different things depending on the level of light, so it is important to conduct your audit during the day and once the sun has set to get a complete picture.
Take notes. It’s easy to forget

Health And Safety Training In Schools

The compensation culture is still going strong and it seems we need to have health and safety training just to sneeze these days. In fact, I bet, somewhere in this crazy world, someone has managed a compensation claim from a higher authority after a place wasn’t thoroughly dusted, bringing on a sneezing fit and causing a whiplash injury.

This need for health and safety training to cover every possible eventuality has put tremendous pressure on businesses and authorities and makes our lives that much less enjoyable. Companies fear getting sued for not implementing health and safety training for features of the workplace that would otherwise have been expected to be put down to common sense. Receiving thousands of pounds in compensation because your contract does not state that you shouldn’t balance a chair on a chair on a table and then try to stand one legged to change a light bulb is simply ludicrous.

These difficulties have reached as far down the scale as to be seen as a problem even in the school classroom – and not by teachers, but by pupils. Children have accidents. They have a distinct lack of fear and will push boundaries continually to work out their own limits. So how come,
