Your employer has a duty, as far as is reasonably possible, to provide you with a safe working environment and to ensure that all floors are free from substances that may cause you to slip. Various substances can be slip hazards on a walkway including oil leaking on to the floor from a faulty machine or rainwater coming from in from a leaking roof. If a spillage has occurred, your employer has a duty to ensure that the spillage is cleaned up as soon as possible and use signs to tell people the floor is wet and to avoid that route if possible. If you are unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident as a result of slipping on such a substance you may be entitled to compensation.
