Work Accident Wet Floor Accident


Work Accident Claims Solicitors deal with a number of claims every year on behalf of employees who have slipped on a wet floor. Although you may not associate serious injuries with this type of accident, it is, in fact, possible to sustain an extremely painful and debilitating injury as a result of slipping on a wet floor.

As many as 90% of slip accidents occur due to a wet floor or if the floor is contaminated with food product.

Wet floor accidents generally tend to occur for the following reasons:
  • Cleaners have used excessive amounts of water when mopping floors.
  • There are no wet floor signs in place notifying employees of the hazard.
  • Unsuitable flooring is used in a workplace where water spillage is unavoidable.
  • Employees have not been provided with the appropriate footwear.
  • Poorly maintained equipment causes water to leak out on to floors.
  • Adverse weather conditions have made communal floor areas worked with no appropriate safeguarding in place.
  • Food or drink has been spilt but has not been cleaned up.
