If you had an accident at work, you should make sure that you take the following steps:
-
make sure you record any injury in the 'accident book'
-
if need be, make sure your employer has reported it to the HSE
-
check your contract or written statement of employment for information about sick or accident pay
-
if there's a dispute, try to sort it out with your employer
-
if there are health and safety problems at work, point them out to your employer or the employee safety representative, and ask for them to be dealt with
-
if this doesn't happen, call the HSE Infoline
