I work in a very dusty environment and now have difficulty breathing. Can I claim for this?

I work in a very dusty environment where we are only supplied with basic face masks whereas I think we should be issued with respirators. I now have difficulty breathing and my doctor says it may well be as a result of the dust at work. Can I claim for my chest and can my employer be forced to supply better equipment?

It sounds like you can claim for your chest. You are also entitled to refuse to work on health and safety grounds until a proper risk assessment is carried out. We can arrange a free assessment of your injuries and appoint a No Win No Fee Lawyer to assist you.

I will ask one of our legal counsellors to call you to go through your case in detail. The service is confidential, there are no costs associated with the call and there is no obligation of any kind. Please reply to this email if you want to use this service.
