So you already appreciate that you won’t want to go legal because of the financial implications (even if you win!) however there are significant hidden costs associated with slip accidents on slippery floors.
Some may only be a niggle but other litigation could have a dramatic effect on how you run your business or if you have a business!
What You Won’t Want To Read!
Consideration should be given to the following:-
- Workers compensation
- The time to process and manage the injury
- Increased workloads for other staff to perform the injured persons work
- Loss of expertise and necessary skills
- Additional training for staff (possible temporary)
- The recruitment of temporary staff
- Decreased productivity
- Human suffering and associated pain
- 95% of slip and trip accidents result in broken bones – that’s usually a lot of pain!
- Your time to develop a legal defense
- Costs associated with any legal challenge
- Adverse publicity
- COMPENSATION – ouch!
