What Genesis Accident Claims (GAC) defines as Industrial Deafness?
Information about Occupational Deafness
Occupational and Industrial Deafness or Noise Induced Hearing Loss is a deterioration of a person’s hearing over a long period of time as a result of their working environment.
Thousands of people in the UK have been affected by industrial deafness. Employees can be put at risk and danger in many different industries particularly shipbuilding, coal mining, metal manufacturing and engineering where noisy machinery is used on a regular basis. An employee may not have been provided with the necessary equipment or material to avoid deafness or hearing loss.
Many employees have come to Genesis Accident Claims (GAC) to purse a personal injury claim for Occupational and Industrial Deafness or Noise Induced Hearing Loss.
Who is responsible for your Occupational Deafness?
Employer to blame for Industrial Deafness
To help prevent more cases of Industrial Deafness, the Noise at Work Act 1989 was introduced into the UK. This Act includes rules relating to health and safety in the workplace which employers are required to adhere to. Those rules combined with improvement in technology have created quieter workplaces and incidences of industrial deafness are now much rarer. Following the introduction of this Act, generally workplaces are now much safer.
