Press Release Summary: Hilary Meredith personal injury experts suggests that
companies are not paying due attention to their legal obligations when it comes to
preventing work-related accidents.

Press Release Body: Following a decrease in major injuries to employees in 2007, the
first quarter of 2008 shows an increase of 2%* which supports experts suggestions
that companies are not paying due attention to their legal obligations when it comes
to preventing work-related accidents.

Legal experts Hilary Meredith Solicitors advise that now is the time to put in place
an effective Health and Safety policy. "Companies should be more diligent when it
comes to staff training in order to avert workplace accidents. An optimum time to
'right size' is during the current economic downturn as firms need to focus on cost
limitation," says senior partner, Hilary Meredith.

Hilary Meredith Solicitors represent both businesses and employees in personal
injury cases and recommend that a risk assessment is carried out to spot possible
health and safety hazards and a 'competent person' should be appointed to be
responsible for health and safety.

The most common kinds of personal injury and accidents at work include slipping and
tripping followed by injuries sustained while handling, lifting or carrying.
