Industrial accidents can cause serious injuries to workers. The accidents usually happen because the industrial jobs involve heavy equipment or machinery and manual handling. Common injuries such as bruising, broken limbs and cuts.

On the other hand, Occupational illnesses are diseases and conditions imposed upon someone as a result of their working environment.

Employers And Occupational Illness

It should not be the case that employees are vulnerable to these types of disorders but unfortunately, there are a number of employers who do not maintain the health and safety standards required by law to protect employees.

Symptoms of occupational illnesses can be very serious while some can be mild. However, even the mildest of symptoms can prevent you from working and can possibly develop into something more long-term.

If you or a family member has suffered as a result of an occupational illness then you have the right to make a claim for personal injury compensation.
