Industrial Air Pollution Claims
The advancements made in the 21st century have been commendable, thanks to the industrial revolution in recent years. Technology is rapidly developing, science is taking on big strides, and the manufacturing industry is the next big thing. However, with all these perks came another unpleasant effect – industrial air pollution. In the past, industrial air pollution only referenced small factories that released smoke into the environment.
However, with the increase in full scale factories and manufacturing units, industrial air pollution now has a lot more impact. Although there are strict control regulations for air pollution from industries, there are still cases of factory emissions, and this can cause breathing difficulties for an individual. If you have suffered an illness as a result of industrial air pollution, you may be entitled to make a compensation claim.
If you have experienced any health problems while in your workplace, your employer may be responsible. This is especially true if health and safety standards are not complied with. Following best standard procedures means that your employer must ensure provide appropriate training opportunity for all employees and provide Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as masks, footwear, and gloves.
If you have suffered illness as a result of industrial air pollution either as a worker or as a resident near an industrial site, the company may be liable. For example, chemical substances may have been duped with taking appropriate precautionary measures – this could mean negligence from the organization
