Compensation for Chemical Burns at Work
Chemical burns affect both workers and members of the public in various, often unpredictable situations. Various high street retailers were recently ordered to pay out over £20 million in damages to 2,000 claimants who sustained burns from Chinese-made sofas they had purchased. Meanwhile the number of compensation claims being made by customers burned by products used at hair salons has increased dramatically in recent years. Procedures such as perming and colouring are often performed by untrained staff handling and applying toxic chemical solutions; an obvious recipe for disaster.
In the workplace the number of chemical burns reported each year remains stubbornly high, despite the raft of health and safety legislation aimed at prevention. It is estimated that 20-25% of all serious burns requiring hospital attention are work related.
