I made a reply to a post on here that has been criticised and now I'm not allowed access to reply.
As it happens I HAVE had an accident that caused injury, pain, time off work and permanent scarring but I ddn't claim compensation.
And, after making a claim, insurance costs tend to rise so pretendng that relying on employers insurance to pay the compo won't hurt the employer is, at best, naive.
I'm all in favour of an investigation and corrective action being taken to improve procedures to avoid anyy repetition of an incident but taking cash out of a system that doesn't have to earn it really doesn't improve anything.

There's a bug on this forum. If you don't know how insurance works or scale it bans you from the topic.
One claim on the scale of insurance a LA will have will cause the premium to rise, will it?
The risk of premium rise is with an overall increase of risk of such instances occurring. Perhaps this event will result in a change in the work place which greatly reduces the risk of such an injury occurring again, and in the medium / long term reduce the risk assessment and therefore cost for the insurance.

And if, instead of making claims from the council but watching where you put your feet, we can reduce claims and premiums even faster, surely that is a good thing?
I don't have a lot of exposure to commercial kitchens but I kind of expect slippy stuff to be spilled in workshops and I take the appropriate level of care - which is different from that in carpeted offices, which is different from tiled showroom floors, etc.
