Occupational Dermatitis is a skin condition caused by exposure to irritants at work, such as chemicals, solvents, and other substances that can damage the skin. Workers in industries such as cleaning, construction, and hairdressing are at a higher risk of developing occupational dermatitis.
Occupational dermatitis occurs when the skin comes into contact with harmful substances that cause an allergic reaction or irritation. Over time, this leads to redness, itching, and sometimes scarring.
Workers who handle chemicals, cleaning agents, or wet conditions are most at risk. Professions that involve frequent hand washing or the use of gloves, such as healthcare workers and food preparation staff, can also lead to occupational dermatitis.
To make a claim for occupational dermatitis, you must prove that your condition was caused by workplace exposure to harmful substances. Evidence of exposure and medical diagnosis are crucial for the success of the claim.
As with most personal injury claims, you must file your occupational dermatitis claim within three years of the condition’s diagnosis or your awareness of the link between your work and the condition.
