Can I make a claim for a personal injury at work?

Yes. You may be entitled to recover compensation from your employer if you are injured at work, or suffer ill health as a result of the job you do. Compensation can be awarded for the injury itself ('pain and suffering') and for your financial losses and expenses caused by the injury.

You may also be eligible for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.
