40 million working days are lost each year to occupational ill-health and injury*

Of the 3.3 million cases brought to the HSE regarding avoidable injury or ill health at work, roughly 317,000 were due to employers failing to adequately protect their employees from the effects of noise, chemicals, asbestos and dust.

Last year, 14,492 claims were made against firms for deafness caused by noise exposure in the workplace

3000 people develop asthma each year because of substances they are exposed to doing their jobs Asthma UK www.asthma.org.uk
The maximum compensation that was paid out for noise exposure in one claim was £17500. www.hse.gov.uk
Compensation was paid out in roughly 2/3 of cases, in amounts varying from £75 to £77,000. www.hse.gov.uk
Compensation can be just the tip of the iceberg. A company that is found to be
liable for harm should add in the extra costs of time lost, sick pay, extra wages for
temporary labour, court and legal costs, fines and the damage done to their reputation.
Ouch.
