What are electric shock at work claims?
Regardless of your job role and the industry that you work in, your employer has a duty of care to protect you from injuries of all kinds, including electric shocks. As a part of this, your employer has a legal responsibility to carry out regular safety checks for all equipment at work, and to ensure adequate PPE, training, and safe working practices are in place for any employees working around live electricity.
If you have been injured due to an electric shock at work, and are looking to make an accident at work claim for financial compensation, then our accident at work solicitors are here to help. Simply contact us online here for a free no-obligation consultation with a no win no fee solicitor within one working hour about your potential electric shock at work claim.
Is my employer liable for my electric shock at work?
Under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, your employer has a duty of care to keep you safe and prevent you from being injured at work. As a part of this, they are required to carry out regular safety checks and risk assessments for the workplace, including regular checking of electrical appliances or electrical equipment in the workplace.
As well as this, the Electricity at Work Regulations of 1989 gives more specific regulations to the health and safety training that must be provided by employers regarding electrical safety.
This includes training on how to properly work with live wires, and how to check the safety of the electrical equipment in the workplace.
If your employer has failed to meet any of their legal requirements related to health and safety and employee training, then they could be liable for your electric shock at work injuries.
To learn more about whether your employer is liable for your electric shock at work injuries, and how to make an accident at work claim against them, contact our no win no fee accident at work solicitors online here for a free, no-obligation consultation.
What type of jobs are high risk for electric shock at work claims?
The most common source of electric shock injuries comes, unsurprisingly, from people who work as electricians. However, wherever you work, there is electricity being used, and a number of electrical appliances, whether they are machines you directly work with or general items, such as the office kettles, or faulty light switches. Some professions have more obvious dangers involved. These can include:
People in the construction industry, where electrical work is often unfinished or where high powered tools are used
Hairdressers and beauty salon workers, who work with a combination of handheld items in close proximity to water
People who deal with fitting or maintaining lighting
Kitchen staff, who have to use a variety of electrical machinery in a high-pressure environment, often with wet or damp hands.
General Maintenance workers, who are often the first port-of-call for workplaces when items malfunction
Cleaners, who must use water and other liquids around the workplace
Hospital staff who work with numerous electrical appliances and equipment
Shop staff who have a variety of roles, many of which can involve electrical items depending on their department but also come into contact with electrical appliances during their day, especially supermarket workers.
Office workers, where on a daily basis you will come into contact with your computer, printer, shredder, kettle, lighting etc.

What to do if you suffer an electric shock at work:
1. Seek medical attention for your injuries-
Before anything else, if you have had an electric shock at work, it is important that you focus first and foremost on your injuries. Where necessary, you should seek immediate medical attention from your workplace first aider.
If your injury and pain continues, or appears to be getting worse, then you should seek further medical attention from your local Accident and Emergency department. This is necessary to ensure that you receive the best treatment for your injuries, but it could also help your accident at work claim further down the line by providing solid evidence of your injuries.
2. Report the incident to your employer-
After seeking immediate medical attention for your injuries, you should formally report the accident to your employer as soon as possible. If the company has an accident book, or an accident logbook, then ensure that the incident is accurately reported in there. If you are unable to report the incident to your employer, then ask a work colleague, or family member to do so.
Reporting an accident at work, to your employer, is also an important way of ensuring the validity of your personal injury claim later down the line, and it can also help to prevent similar accidents from happening again.
3. Get in touch with a specialist accident at work personal injury solicitor-
