Case studies - Industrial disease
'Industrial disease' is a legal term for any condition or illness that developed following exposure to a hazardous substance at work or as a result of an unsafe working environment.
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates show that around 2 million people are affected by industrial disease every year.
Industrial diseases include:
