Compensation Claims for Dangerous Machinery
Dangerous parts of machinery should be properly guarded to make sure you can’t get your fingers caught. If you have been injured because a machine wasn’t properly guarded, your employer will be liable to compensate you even if the machine was originally built without adequate guards.
Guards should never be removed to make the job easier or quicker. If your employer allows or encourages you to work without guards, they will be liable for any injuries you suffer although your compensation may be reduced if you were partly to blame.
