How do I bring a claim after slipping on a wet floor as a result of a spillage created by a colleague?

Slipping accidents on wet floors are the most common type of work accidents in the United Kingdom. The UK Health and Safety Executive report that wet floors cause 90% of workplaces slipping accidents.

Our experience at The Claims Partnership is that the vast majority of slipping accidents at work caused by a spillage on the floor caused by a colleague could have been avoided if your employer or your colleagues had been more careful. At The Claims Partnership, we take the view that even if your employer was not at fault directly, they are still responsible for the carelessness of their employees, especially if it has caused you to be injured. We have successfully argued this and won compensation for our clients on this basis on hundreds of occasions

Most of the time an employer has not met their legal obligations to make sure you are safe in your job. These obligations include:

– Regularly inspecting and cleaning floors and surfaces to check for spillages or anything that might cause you to slip.

– Ensuring that staff have placed a wet floor sign on a floor where they have created a spillage or puddle.

– Carrying out a proper Risk Assessment to identify what activities were vulnerable to spillages, what staff might be involved and to identify processes and equipment that could avoid spillage happening.

– Training staff to carry out their jobs safely so the spillages were avoided, to train then to use equipment that prevented or minimise the risk of a spillage, to clean up spillages properly, to mop properly and to place warning signs in areas that have a spillage, puddle or have been recently mopped.
