Work-related contact dermatitis can come about due to a number of causes, such as repeated washing of the hands, the wearing of latex gloves or the handling of hazardous substances such as chemicals. Work-related dermatitis (aka eczema) can have a serious effect on a person’s entire life, restricting their lifestyle, ruining their confidence and causing irritation and even pain. If you have found this to be the case, you could make a dermatitis compensation claim with Regent Law.

Speak to one of our experienced compensation claims advisors free of charge today on 01204 201296 or on live chat for a consultation. Alternatively, you can fill in one of our claims forms and we’ll call you back.

HAVE YOU BEEN AFFECTED BY DERMATITIS?

The symptoms of dermatitis can vary but include skin blotchiness, cracking, itching, rashes or redness. Occupational dermatitis can lead to permanent sensitivity, so the sufferer always has the irritated skin reaction against the substance that has led to the dermatitis. Figures compiled by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) suggest that around 84,000 people in the UK have occupational dermatitis. A number of substances can cause eczema:

Allergic contact dermatitis

  • Adhesives
  • Foods (e.g. shellfish, flour, eggs, etc.)
  • Hair dyes
  • Plants
  • Printers’ inks
  • Wet cement

Irritant contact dermatitis

  • Acids and alkalis
  • Dust (e.g. brick dust)
  • Food (e.g. onions)
  • Glues
  • Oils and greases
  • Soaps, shampoos and detergents
  • Wet work

At Regent Law, we can help you win your dermatitis compensation claim damages on a ‘no win, no fee basis.

HOW DO I KNOW I CAN MAKE A CLAIM FOR DERMATITIS COMPENSATION?

It’s an employee’s right to expect to be able to work and still be protected against the chance of injury or of developing an industrial disease. And it’s an employer’s responsibility to ensure that their employees do not develop a skin condition such as dermatitis. Legally, employers should supply personal protective equipment, including gloves, to keep workers safe from any irritants that might cause contact dermatitis.

While the condition can occur in almost any workplace, it is common among people working in:

  • Agriculture
  • Catering
  • Cleaning
  • Engineering
  • Healthcare
  • Printing

Occupational dermatitis compensation is awarded in varying amounts as a reflection of how much aggravation the condition has caused you. For legal reasons, a claim should be started within three years of workplace-related dermatitis becoming apparent. The easiest way to find out if you can make a contact dermatitis claim is to contact Regent Law for a free and confidential chat.
