Injury from Inadequate Training Claim

Common workplace injury claims due to inadequate training range from spraining a wrist lifting boxes to a back injury falling off a ladder in the workplace. 

You can suffer an injury in the workplace when doing your job or when asked to help another employee, and you might have a compensation claim. 

You may be able to claim compensation for injury due to inadequate training if you can show the accident was not your fault or only partially your fault. 

Some of the common inadequate training workplace accident claims are:

An injury due to inadequate training when using industrial machinery can be a crushed finger, broken toes, or a fractured limb. Industrial machinery is heavy and dangerous, and employees require adequate training to use it.

Adequate training also means regular safety training, and in any changes to using the machinery.

An employee who is not adequately trained in using industrial machinery and suffers an injury may have a claim for compensation.

The failure to train an employee on using an emergency stop button can lead to serious injuries when a machine malfunctions. The emergency stop button can prevent a worse injury from happening, and employees should be fully trained in its use.

Inadequate training includes failing to instruct employees on what to do in an emergency. Workplace machinery, from a shredder to a forklift, can injure an employee, and the emergency button can stop it before something worse happens.

Crush injuries, amputations and death may be prevented if staff are trained in using the emergency stop button.

Injury due to inadequate training in using PPE can be burns, eye damage and cuts and bruises. PPE, personal protective equipment, is necessary when handling acids or working in hazardous conditions.

You could receive burns to the hands if gloves are not fitted properly or injure your eyes if protective glasses slip while working in the lab.

Protective clothing should be provided, as well as adequate training for employees working in hazardous conditions in the workplace.

Injury from lack of manual handling training could be a clear case for an inadequate training claim. Your employer should not ask you to move goods without the correct manual handling training.

Employees need manual handling training if working in a warehouse or any place where they could be lifting, shifting, or stacking goods. Injuries include back pain, torn muscles, and broken bones.

You might have an inadequate training at work claim if you have been injured at work and it was not your fault.

An injury from a lack of fire training in the workplace could be serious burns, lung damage from smoke inhalation and scarring.

Fire hazard training and what to do in the event of an incident in the workplace should be offered in every work environment. Not receiving adequate fire training and then being injured in a fire could be grounds for an inadequate training claim.

You might be able to claim compensation for an injury in the workplace that was not your fault.

An injury from a lack of training in using hazardous materials could be burns from handling acids to cancer from working with asbestos. Inadequate training can cause injury to employees and no more so than when using hazardous materials.

Regular training should be available to employees who work with hazardous materials. To receive burns, eye damage and be in danger of contracting cancer should not happen and may lead to a claim for damages.

Injury caused by a lack of training for a work colleague can happen when working closely with another employee. You may have adequate training for the work, but if they do not, then an accident could easily happen.

Your work colleague may drop a heavy object on your toes, spill acid on your skin or not place a ladder in a safe place, causing you to fall from a height.

Employers must provide adequate training to all employees and not cause an injury to you due to inadequate training of colleagues.

If you are injured in a workplace accident due to inadequate training, you might have a claim for compensation.

A workplace injury is when you are injured at work, and it is not your fault. You could fall from a ladder, injure your back in a manual handling accident or suffer electric shock when using machinery.

The injury can be to your arms, legs, back or anywhere on your body. A burn, scald, break or strain all count as workplace injuries, and you might be able to claim compensation when one happens to you due to inadequate training.

An employer must carry out regular risk assessments, provide proper training and ensure staff are up-to-date in their training on using equipment. Employers have a duty of care to staff and must have employer liability insurance in place.

If you are injured in an accident that might be due to inadequate training, you could have a workplace injury claim.

Evidence to support an inadequate training claim, such as a manual handling injury, can be CCTV footage and medical reports; the more evidence you can gather, the better it is for your possible claim. 

Your employer must keep records of training, who attended and when, as well as training manuals for all equipment and emergency procedures. 

Evidence needed for an inadequate training injury claim should be:

Every piece of evidence may be crucial in an inadequate training claim. You do not know what your employer or office manager will dispute or claim when the case begins.
