Dermatitis Claim
Claim compensation for work related Dermatitis
Dermatitis can occur regularly at work when being exposed to substances such as oils, diesel, petrol or greasers etc. This list is not exhaustive and there are numerous substances/materials that can cause dermatitis. Workers have suffered from dermatitis for decades yet employers still do not fulfil their requirements to protect their employees from exposure to any harmful substances.
There are regulations that govern the duty of Employers and what steps need to be taken to protect employees from any potentially harmful substance. Employers should look to provide Personal Protective Equipment such as gloves, overalls, boots and any other apparatus such as masks to stop any exposure to these harmful substances occurring. Any item given by the employer, such as gloves, must be adequate for the job and should be maintained by the employer and if broken replaced. If these items are not provided or are inadequate you may be able to make a dermatitis claim.
