At The Compensation Experts, we work with the UK’s leading solicitors to claim maximum compensation on behalf of our clients; there’s no reason you should struggle financially because of your occupational asthma.

What is Occupational Asthma Compensation?

Most people know that asthma is a chronic condition that makes it difficult to breathe; the muscles around the airways constrict and tighten, preventing oxygen from reaching the lungs. In turn, this affects oxygen dispersal throughout the rest of the body.

More than feeling short of breath, a serious asthma attack can make a victim feel as if they are suffocating. Such a feeling can be, in extreme instances, fatal. Occupational asthma is when the condition results from, or faces aggravation from, poor working conditions. Dust, pollen and chemical fumes are all common workplace irritants that can trigger occupational asthma. Over time, inflammation of the bronchial tubes occurs, permanently damaging the lungs in some cases.

By law, employers have an obligation to identify potential occupational asthma risks, and take relevant steps to protect their employees from harm. For instance, this includes providing things like effective ventilation and adequate safety equipment.

Industries

Occupational asthma occurs when there are asthmagens (asthma causing irrantants) within an environment. For example, a baker could develop chronic asthma from breathing in flour dust. Other trades where workers are also at risk of developing occupational asthma include:

Nurses, doctors and other healthcare workers are also at risk of occupational asthma, due to natural rubber latex proteins used in the manufacturing of medical gloves.

Claiming Compensation for Occupational Asthma

Asthma is incurable, but it is treatable. Occupational and industrial asthma compensation can not only help address the expense of ongoing medical care, but it can also be a way of acknowledging the physical damage that victims endure.

Occupational asthma compensation example

If a person living with industrial asthma has to stop working because of their condition, compensation can help to cover any expenses that come with finding a new job. Moreover, it may even address a shortfall in pension if they need to take early retirement due to their ill-health.
