In my “real” work, besides being project manager working with information management, I’m also industrial safety delegate, who represents the workers with corporate security. My task is to review safety issues, participate in planning, do safety checks and participate in accident research.

The task of industrial safety is to protect people physically, psychologically and socially in their work. The aim is to reduces dangers in work and working society. This is done by foreseeing, planning, executing, monitoring, evaluating, still preparing for accidents and continuously developing.

At work place there may also be hidden dangers. This means, that in our daily work, there are dangers that we do not identify. The risk probability is low, but consequences may be serious. This kind of hidden dangers may be heavy lifting, traveling or just slipping.

Even that the main task is to prevent accidents, they still occur. Usually things does not “just happen”, but persons who have responsibility, have not done their work. If you have been injured in an accident at work or working elsewhere you may have a claim against a group or individual responsible, including your employer. However victim may not receive justice automatically. Injury Claims occur and industrial safety delegates task is to participate and support workers. And sometimes the help of the safety delegate is not enough, but professional lawyer help is needed too.
