Compensation payouts for workplace injury can be significant, for instance a Sellafield worker received a seven figure payout after suffering a serious accident whilst at work.
The 64 year old grandfather was a mechanical fitter for Johnson Controls a firm sub-contracted to Sellafield, where he worked as a banksperson directing vehicles around the site.
By making a claim you could help protect other workers from injury in the future.
He was knocked down by a mobile elevated working platform which was being driven by a Johnson Controls' employee. His leg was crushed, and the injury sustained was so extensive that his leg had to be amputated.
An investigation by the HSE revealed that prior to his injury, he and other staff had escorted MEWPs on foot several times a month for over a year.
The only health and safety advice offered by his employer during this time, was to wear a high visibility waistcoat while directing vehicles.
As well as being ordered to pay compensation, Johnson Controls was also issued with a notice to devise a safe system, and provide relevant training to protect workers driving and escorting MEWPs.
