We succeeded in a claim for industrial disease compensation for a British Telecom engineer who was exposed to excessive noise during his employment.
Our client worked in exchange maintenance, testing the telephone lines with a tone set. This involved sending a loud high pitched beeping sound down the wire. Our client developed hearing loss and tinnitus as a result.
British Telecom admitted liability and our client was awarded £9,000 by way of compensation.
