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:

• Workplace cancer
• Asbestos-related disease
• Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)
• Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
• Hand-arm vibration syndrome (vibration white finger)

If you have suffered from an industrial disease as a result of your employer's actions or negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
