Occupational Dermatitis Compensation

Making a dermatitis claim

A wide range of skin conditions can be caused by exposure to certain chemicals at work. Collectively known as dermatitis, these problems can be caused either by direct contact with an irritant that damages the outer layer of the skin or by the body’s own immune system creating an allergic reaction that affects the skin. You may experience redness, itching, weeping or a painful cracking of the skin. Contact dermatitis caused by irritants is more common than allergic reaction, causing up to 8 in every 10 cases.

Work-related dermatitis can often affect not only people who work in the chemical industry but also people like hairdressers and beauticians who regularly use a variety of chemicals in their treatments. Although there are many causes of dermatitis, if you didn’t have it when you were a child or it’s become a lot worse recently, then your work may be causing it.
