Unison have identified that each year, some 300,000 people in the UK suffer back pain as a result of a workplace manual handling incident.
Manual workers, such as order pickers, lorry drivers, warehouse operatives and care workers can all be exposed to back injury by repeated lifting.
A common cause of back injury is experienced by care workers, who have to lift and manoeuvre the elderly and disabled.
Every single employee, who has to undertake manual handling operations, should undergo full and correct manual handling training. Employers are obliged to conduct a risk assessment to eliminate the chance of injury.
Lack of manual handling training can make an employer liable if an employee becomes injured through lifting. Employers should always try and eliminate manual handling wherever possible.
Repetitive lifting and handling should also be avoided where possible, even if it involves moderate weights.
Personal injury compensation claims for back injury cases also arise when the claimant has been injured due to bending, over-reaching, twisting, stretching and lifting from over shoulder height.
It should be remembered that even if the employee works away from the employer’s base, the employer cannot evade their liability. For example, delivery drivers, who have to handle heavy stock in cage or trolley form. Or carers, who work in a patient’s home, where they have to lift the patient.
Personal injury claims due to accident and injury in the workplace are very common indeed. As well as gaining personal injury compensation, the claimant will have the satisfaction of knowing that the employer will have to change their unsafe system of work. Hopefully, this will prevent further employees being injured.
