Negotiations To Resolve The Matter – Compensation Claims
Over the years we have witnessed problems with filing at Warbreck, particularly with staff filing in the “corridors” within the rooms. Unfortunately although the Department has a policy to “design out” Health and Safety risks, this is only a theory.
Since the introduction of LEAN techniques at Warbreck we have seen a proliferation of low level racking at Warbreck. This has resulted in serious accidents. According to the employer’s top ten list of Health and Safety risks associated with LEAN; low level racking appears at number 1.
We have tried at every turn over the past year to get the employer to see sense collectively and for them to restore proper racking and eliminate the low level racking. At the Warbreck Safety Committee on 30th September 2009 the employer acknowledged the scale of the problems and agreed to issue a statement to try and resolve the issues (or at least to start to take steps to improve matters).
Although the problems may be resolved in the near future, members who have suffered a medical detriment are now pursuing the issue through the legal channels.
Detriments to Health and Legal cases
So far it appears that there have only been half a dozen accidents associated with low level racking. This may be the tip of the iceberg.
Two of the members’ cases are being actively taken forward by the Lawyers. However there may be other members who have suffered a medical detriment as a result of the low level racking who would be interested in joining in a “group” action of claims through the Lawyers.

If you feel that you have suffered detriments that you may have been subjected to as a result of the low level racking then please contact me as soon as possible, in order that any claims can be considered by the Lawyers.
