Occupational Asthma Claims

Have you developed occupational asthma due to no fault of your own?  If you have, you may be eligible to make occupational asthma claims.  Asthma is an inflammatory condition, often chronic, which affects a person’s airways.  Asthma can develop after a person has been exposed to an irritant or a substance that causes the air passage to react and constrict.  The narrowing of the airways causes breathing difficulties and the victim may need to take medication for the rest of his life to treat this condition.

There are many causes of occupational asthma.  Coming into contact with animal hairs, pollen, dust, smoke, grains, resins, fumes, etc can cause occupational asthma.  A person can become victim of asthma at any time.  Asthma is not only caused by exposure to irritants at the workplace, but it can also be hereditary or it can be caused by a person’s style of living.  If you have suffered asthma as a result of your working condition, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation.

Symptoms of Occupational Asthma

Symptoms of occupational asthma vary from person to person and it also depends on the substance that you have been exposed to.  However, some of the common symptoms of occupational asthma include:

  • coughing
  • wheezing
  • nasal congestion
  • chest tightness
  • shortness of breath

People who develop occupational asthma may not experience any symptoms on days they do not work.  They may experience symptoms as soon as they return to work.  In some people, the symptoms may worsen as the days pass and they may get back to normal over the weekend.  However, once they have returned to work, they may start experiencing the symptoms again and the symptoms will gradually worsen over the work week.

Some people may not experience symptoms of asthma during the course of the day at work and the symptoms may only be noticed once they have reached home.  In such a situation, it may be difficult to recognise that the disease has been caused as a result of a workplace trigger.
