Accidents can happen at any time.
They do not pick a dreaded day or month to come calling.
You can suffer a personal injury no matter where you work.
Even the seemingly harmless jobs with impressive statistics when it comes to safety measures are not exempted.
They still record their fair share of freak accidents.
However, consistent surveys show certain work places where injuries are more likely to occur.
These places remain a honey pot for any work injury lawyer.
Here are the top 5 work places most likely to cause injuries.
Medical & Health Care It is ironical that the sector saddled with safeguarding lives and providing health care makes this list.
Over 6 million people work in the health care sector in the UK with an astonishing 10 out of 100 filing an injury claim in 2010.
The figures have been a source of concern with the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK who have promised to tackle the problem head-on.
Nursing homes and hospitals have the highest ratio of accidents.
Manufacturing Industries Personal injury claims are also rampant in the manufacturing sector.
Workers deal with heavy industrial machines on a regular basis and sometimes things just go awry resulting in unfortunate accidents.
This usually leave workers disfigured or maimed for life.
Transportation Those who work in this industry travel by road, air, rail or even sea.
And are usually victims of the elements of weather or undue negligence that comes with work pressure.
This group of people recorded a high rate of injuries in 2010 rising about 6% from 2009 in the UK.
Outdoor Professionals This is a general category where most of the accidents are considered unusual accidents.
Fishermen, carpenters, electricians and even gardeners amongst others have been known to have been involved in unexplainable accidents with disastrous consequences.
Some of these jobs are dangerous but as the saying goes 'someone has got to do it'.
The watch word is 'Be Careful'.
You might not be in great condition to file an injury claim or hire a work injury lawyer.
Sports and Entertainment Actors, athletes and other oriented employees make the cut.
Race car drivers have been known to sustain grave injuries.
Golfers have been known to be knocked unconscious by golf balls.
These places are meant to be exciting spots where we go to see our favourite stars or relax with family and friends.
Unfortunately, they can also be danger-traps for unforeseen accidents.
If you work in any of these fields or you are involved in any other way.
It is pertinent that you follow the safety guidelines at these places at all times and never take them for granted.
