An introduction to claiming compensation: Occupational Asthma
This booklet provides a clear overview of occupational asthma as a workplace-related lung condition caused or aggravated by exposure to dust, fumes, vapours, chemicals and other hazardous substances. It explains who may be at risk, the common symptoms and causes, and the practical steps both employers and workers should take to reduce exposure and respond promptly to warning signs. The booklet also highlights the legal duties placed on employers under health and safety legislation, the potential entitlement to benefits in some cases, and the importance of acting quickly given the three-year time limit that generally applies to raising a compensation claim.
