An unsafe work areas claim is a legal process by which an individual seeks compensation for injury or illness incurred due to working in an unsafe work area. This can include medical expenses, lost wages, rehabilitation costs, and other damages.

Regardless of whether you are a full time employee, part time or casual staff, you have the right to work in a safe environment. If you have been injured at work and you feel it wasn't your fault, contact the expert solicitors at Forbes today and get your compensation claim started.

• The use of ladders rather than scaffolding and platforms

• Employers leaving workers exposed to dangerous chemicals and substances
