Occupational Asthma Claims

Occupational Asthma is a disease which limits the airflow and/or where the airway is hyper-responsive due to a particular occupational environment or stimuli which are not regularly encountered outside the working environment.
The main risk areas are spray painters, medical professionals, animal handlers, bakers, food handlers, timber workers, chemical workers and welders. The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations highlight that the most common causes are isocyanates, flour, grain, colophony, latex, animals wood dust and chemical fumes.
The inhalation of such substances can cause or aggravate asthma and if medical evidence can be obtained to support the link, compensation can be claimed for personal injury. Combined with this, a claimant may then have to change their job or experience regular absences from work to recover from the asthma symptoms. This inevitably results in a loss of income and can be included within the claim.
There are strict time limits in place to make any personal injury claim, including occupational asthma, so if you or someone you know has developed asthma at work or any other industrial injury, contact Quality Solicitors Oliver & Co on 01244 312306.
