Damages for electric shock at work

A man has received £15,000 compensation after he was injured from an electric shock at work. He was instructed to switch off a fan assisted radiator using a switch under a metal casing. There were live terminals under the cover and as he moved his left hand it came into contact with a live terminal and he sustained an electric shock which caused him to grip a metal cover he was holding in his right hand tightly so that he sustained a laceration.
