You may be here because your work has taken a toll on your health. It could be a physical injury, such as a slip, trip or accident or something less visible, like stress, anxiety, or burnout. Either way, it can affect your confidence, your finances, and your life outside work.
Workplace injuries do not always happen in the office or on-site. They can occur while travelling for work, working offsite or carrying out duties outside your normal environment. And even if an injury seems small at first, it can develop into something more serious over time.
The law in Ireland requires every employer to protect not only your physical safety but also your mental wellbeing. If they fail to do so, by ignoring health and safety obligations, overloading staff, or failing to provide proper training and equipment, and you suffer as a result, you may have grounds for a claim.
If this sounds familiar, it is important to act quickly. Start by seeking medical attention, reporting the issue to your employer and keeping a record of all incidents, emails, or witness accounts. These steps will strengthen your case.
Workplace injury and mental health issues can take many forms, including:
Physical accidents slips, trips, falls or injuries from machinery.
Repetitive strain injuries, including back pain, joint issues or muscle strain caused by repeated tasks.
Exposure to hazardous substances, noise or unsafe working conditions.
Workplace stress caused by excessive workloads, unrealistic targets or lack of support.
Psychological harm anxiety, depression, or trauma linked to bullying, harassment or unsafe practices.
Whether your harm is physical, psychological or both, you don’t have to face it alone.
