Occupational Disease / Illness

Your employer is under a legal duty to protect employees from exposure to hazardous chemicals, dust, fumes, vapours, loud noises, constant repetitive movement, vibration from handheld tools, etc.

Employers must provide training and appropriate personal protective and safety workwear and equipment to ensure employees are not exposed to hazards in risk areas to carry out their job.

If the employer fails to protect you from a health risk that causes you illness or disease you may have a claim for compensation.
