Handling Dermatitis Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
Irwin Mitchell can help you to pursue a dermatitis claim against your employer if you have been exposed to conditions or substances that could cause you to suffer from dermatitis or any other form of skin condition.
We have a specialist team of solicitors who can provide you with dedicated support and advice in making a claim for dermatitis, eczema or any form of rash on your skin from work.
Dermatitis covers many different disorders that all result in a red, itchy rash. Some types of dermatitis affect only specific parts of the body; others can occur anywhere. Dermatitis is the skin's way of reacting to:
- Severe dryness
- Scratching
- An irritating substance
- An allergen - typically, the allergen comes in direct contact with the skin, but sometimes the substance is swallowed.
Dermatitis can occur regularly at work when workers are exposed to oils, diesel, petrol, greases and many other substances.
Workers have suffered from dermatitis for decades, yet many employers still do not fulfil requirements to protect employees from exposure to harmful substances. As a result, many sufferers may be in a position to claim compensation for dermatitis.
Employer Responsibilities Regarding Dermatitis
Regulations demand that employers should protect employees from any potentially harmful substance that might cause dermatitis or eczema. Employers should provide Personal Protective Equipment such as:
- Gloves
- Overalls
- Boots
- Masks
Dermatitis occurs frequently at work as employers fail to provide any Health & Safety equipment or the equipment provided is inadequate for example providing fabric gloves when working with liquids.
