Welding Compensation Claims

It has long been recognized that exposure to the fumes produced when welding can cause occupational lung diseases, such as asthma.

Moreover, such persons are also at a greater risk of developing lung conditions such as bronchitis and emphysema.

Fumes emitted whilst welding produce a mixture of gases and small particles that, when inhaled, go deep into the lungs.  While all fumes are detrimental to an individuals health, some are worse than others.  The fumes emitted from welding aluminium are less dangerous than the fumes emitted from welding stainless steels or special alloys.  Thus, the seriousness and effect of exposure will likely depend on the type of metal that is being welded.

Given the increase in awareness as to the effect of these fumes, there are health and safety regulations in place to minimize the likelihood of exposure.  However, not all employers adhere to such requirements, and thus inhalation and injury may occur.

In addition to claiming compensation for you or a loved ones suffering, you may also be able to claim for medical expenses, lost wages and any other out of pocket expenses.
