Common Workplace Accidents Unfortunately accidents in the workplace do happen and when they do it may be necessary to employ the services of a specialist injury at work compensation solicitors. Hopefully it wont come to that but its something to bear in mind should you be involved in such an incident. Those working in the more dangerous workplaces like construction sites and factories are at higher risk not only of an accident in general but also of a more serious occurrence. Here we take a look at the most common workplace accident: 1 Falling over This could be on flat surfaces or could involve a fall to a lower level. Falling on wet and slippery floors and falling on snow covered pathways on the way to work are prime examples.

Falling to a lower level happens from elevated areas such as roofs ladders scaffolding and stairways. 2 Overexertion
