When we think about a workplace injury, we often picture an accident like a fall, a machinery incident, or an injury caused by heavy lifting.
But not every workplace injury is sudden, and not every injury is visible.
It might be a back injury that develops over time, repetitive strain, hearing loss, or a psychological injury caused by what someone has experienced at work.
October is National Safe Work Month, and it’s an important reminder that everyone deserves to feel safe at work.
A workplace injury or illness can affect much more than someone’s working life. It can impact their income, family, independence and ability to do the things they normally enjoy.
Our partners at Attwood Marshall Lawyers believe workers should feel able to speak up about unsafe workplaces and, if they are injured, understand their rights and how to access the best treatment and support.
If you or someone in your family has been injured at work and doesn’t know what to do next, the team has put together information about workers’ compensation claims and the support that may be available.
