Making a Solvent Exposure Compensation Claim

There are a number of harmful solvents, such as benzene and toluene, which employees may be exposed to whilst in the work environment. If you, a family member or friend, have been exposed to solvents as the result of the negligence of your employer or a fellow employee, you may be able to make a claim.

In this case, negligence might mean not providing you with enough information about the potential harmful effects of the solvents you were working with, or not providing adequate safety gear.

Whatever form this negligence took, if it has resulted in a permanent or temporary physical condition such as a respiratory illness or skin problems, you should contact an industrial disease solicitor as soon as possible to discuss your potential claim for compensation.

The Harmful Effects of Solvents

Solvent exposure compensation claims are launched as a response to the chemicals’ harmful effects, which can have serious implications for the person affected. Initial symptoms can include:

• headaches;
• dizziness;
• clumsiness;
• drowsiness;
• unconsciousness.

In extreme cases, solvent exposure can result in death. If you are in any way concerned that you may be the victim of solvent exposure, contact your GP immediately.
