Industrial Disease Claims

Industrial Disease Claims

Employers owe a duty to ensure that they don’t cause illness or injury to their employees or anyone else who might be hurt by their operations. In most cases, it will be an employee who contracts an industrial disease, but it can be others – for example relatives who suffer when exposed to asbestos fibres brought home on the employee’s clothes. 

There is a vast array of diseases and illnesses which can be caused by exposure to substances at work and our lawyers can help if you think you have been affected by your work.

The main types of disease are:

Asbestos Related Injuries

Asbestos was widely used as insulation in the first half of the last century and continued to be used in certain industries for decades after that.

Vibrating Tools

Using vibrating tools can cause Hand Arm Vibration syndrome ("HAVS") which is also known as Vibration White Finger or "VWF".

Dermatitis

Irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis and contact urticaria (wheals and redness on the skin) can all be caused by your occupation.

Repetitive Strain Injury

Employers have duties to provide a safe system of work, and workstations that are optimised to ensure you can work without suffering injury.

Industrial Asthma

Employers must assess the risk of exposure to substances which might cause injury or illness and control the risk by providing adequate ventilation exhaust extraction and masks etc
