Mrs H from Lincolnshire was 54 when her workplace accident happened. She had been walking along a pathway in her work when she tripped over a pallet which had just been left on the pathway. We see accidents like this which are easily preventable every day; we always hope that employers will take their responsibilities seriously to keep walkways clear of obstructions. All too often we see the unfortunate results when they are not so diligent.
