Workplace compensation for serious burn injuries
You could be entitled to claim personal injury compensation for serious burn injuries at work. Whether the burn injuries have arisen from contact with flame, chemicals, or perhaps hot equipment or instruments, you could be eligible to pursue a legal case.
To succeed with the claim, we need to establish that your employer has been negligent in the duty of care that they have for you. Health and safety regulations in the workplace are very stringent and they specifically cover your workplace, the equipment you use, any personal protective equipment you may need, and the control of chemicals.
As the rules are so stringent, there should be no instance really where an employee is at risk of suffering serious burn injuries at work. Whilst we will need to risk assess any claim that you may wish to pursue, if you have suffered injuries like this, you could be entitled to pursue a case.

A recent example reported
There are stringent health and safety regulations to prevent serious burn injuries taking place in the work environment. However, burn injuries are known to happen and, where breaches of health and safety law have taken place, regulatory investigations may need to be conducted.
There was a recent example reported by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). In this incident, a worker reportedly suffered 13% superficial burns to an arm and a hand when flammable vapours ignited in a workplace in Hull. The HSE reported that they found that equipment in place was not adequate enough to have prevented the build-up of a flammable atmosphere. The company was reportedly fined £480,000 and was also ordered to pay costs in the sum of £13,441.80.
