      Things To Know

      What is Occupational Cancer

      Certain types of cancers can be caused by exposure to harmful chemicals in various industries such as textiles, metalwork, hairdressers, plastic and rubber manufacturing, construction, food manufacturing, mining and chemical refineries.

      Types of Occupational Cancer

      Exposure to hazardous substances and chemicals in the workplace can cause many different types of cancers; bladder, kidneys, liver, lungs, nose, skin and blood. Once diagnosed, it is possible to determine from your work history whether exposure in the workplace caused or contributed to the development of cancer.

      Employer Liability

      Your Employer has a legal duty to prevent and reduce exposure to harmful substances and chemicals. Employers are under a duty of care to ensure their Employees are not put at any foreseeable risk as far as practicable.

      How can I Claim

      At Oakwood Solicitors, our Industrial Disease solicitors have a wealth of experience in dealing with occupational cancer claims. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, this may have been caused or made worse by your employers’ negligence regarding your safety for which you may be able to receive compensation.

      What is occupational cancer?

      Many cancers can be caused by exposure to substances at work. Examples include lung and nasal cancer which can be caused by exposure to asbestos and wood dust, respectively.

      Can occupational cancer be caused by work?

      Many workers are exposed to cancerous substances at work. Joiners and carpenters are regularly exposed to wood dusts, which can cause nasopharynx and sinonasal cancers. Metalworkers often come into contact with metalworking fluids and mineral oils, which can cause bladder, lung, sinonasal, and skin cancers.

      Could my employer be liable for compensation?

      Your employer owes you a duty of care to protect you from exposure to cancerous substances. If you’ve received a cancer diagnosis, your employer may be liable for compensation.
