Industrial Disease
Industrial Disease
Industrial diseases are health conditions or illnesses that are directly caused by exposure to hazardous substances or unsafe working conditions in the workplace. These diseases can range from respiratory conditions due to exposure to harmful chemicals or dust, to long-term illnesses such as repetitive strain injuries or hearing loss caused by prolonged exposure to loud noises. Employers have a legal obligation to provide a safe working environment and protect their employees from known hazards. However, when safety measures are neglected or protective equipment is lacking, workers may suffer from industrial diseases. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of these illnesses is crucial for early intervention and seeking compensation for affected individuals. Industrial Disease claims aim to hold employers accountable for their negligence and provide support for workers who have been affected by these preventable health conditions.
