If you become ill or contract a disease due to your job, this would mean they have not met their duty of care for you. Common lapses in protection include:   Ensuring adequate personal protective equipment (PPE)  Carrying out risk assessments.  Insufficient training on equipment usage  Minimizing exposure to hazardous substances  Insufficient breaks  If your employer has failed to take care of your well-being, and you now suffer from an industrial disease due to inappropriate working spaces, then call us today and know more about the industrial disease claim process.
