Contact Dermatitis - Employers
Employers
The law requires that your employer provide and maintain a working environment that is safe to your health.
An employer will become liable if he does not take all reasonable steps to prevent employees coming into contact with substances or irritants which can cause occupational dermatitis. The employer must also ensure that physical working conditions do not expose employees to the risk of skin diseases.
A successful work related skin disease claim will require a clinical diagnosis of dermatitis and evidence that the disease has been caused by substances or conditions in the workplace. It will also need to be proved that the employer negligent in failing to prevent exposure to the irritant. Damages will reflect a range of factors, including pain and suffering, the cost of medical treatment and loss of earnings.
