Industrial disease claims arise from injuries and illness occurring over a period of time following exposure to harmful materials/substances or defective work practices

Every year there are thousands of workers who suffer industrial diseases, which result in long term injury or illness.

Your employer is under a duty to protect you from hazardous substances and hazardous situations whilst you are in work to minimise the risks of developing an industrial disease or illness.  There are many regulations setting out the steps employers should be taking, including providing suitable personal protective equipment, where appropriate.

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.
