Work related disease/illness claims

Every year many thousands of workers are exposed to hazardous substances. You may have been exposed to chemicals, fumes, dust, industrial noise or vibration during the course of your employment. As a result you may have developed an industrial disease or illness which could have serious long term consequences.

Your employer is under a duty to protect your health and safety at work and there are many regulations setting out the steps they should be taking, including providing suitable personal protective equipment where appropriate. In particular they have to comply with the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health.

It is important in these cases to seek legal advice promptly. In most cases claims should be made within 3 years of when you knew or ought to have known you were suffering from a work related illness.
