What are some common causes of an industrial disease in Northern Ireland?
Industrial diseases are illnesses rooted in inadequate and unsafe workplace conditions. They are frequently caused by:
- Insufficient protection – Employers have a duty to create a safe environment and provide you with adequate protective equipment. If they fail in this task, it may result in an industrial disease.
- Exposure to harmful substances or environments – Hazardous substances can damage your health and lead to irreparable harm.
- Loud Noises – If you work in a loud environment without any protection, you may develop life-long issues.
- Repetitive Actions – Completing repetitive actions without adequate breaks and training could result in an industrial disease.
- Inadequate training – Workers were not given the training necessary to carry out their jobs safely.
Symptoms can take years, if not decades, to develop. If you suffered from an industrial disease, contact our solicitors to get the support you deserve.
