Urticaria is another form of skin condition caused by a work related irritant or contact with a substance at work. It is different from dermatitis as it can occur quickly following skin contact and disappear again some hours later. Urticaria can be caused by excessive cold or heat, some foods, or a latex allergy that causes the condition to erupt.
If you are exposed to any chemicals or substances that could irritate your skin, your employer must provide you with the right t...raining and supply proper protective work equipment for you to use. If your employer hasn’t done so, and it’s affected you, it is important to speak to a specialist solicitor with expertise in this type of condition.
Our experienced occupational illness solicitors can advise and support you throughout your claim. Above all, our experts can help you secure the compensation you deserve.

Work-related dermatitis can often affect not only people who work in the chemical industry but also people like hairdressers and beauticians who regularly use a variety of chemicals in their treatments. Although there are many causes of dermatitis, if you didn’t have it when you were a child or it’s become a lot worse recently, then your work may be causing it.

A wide range of skin conditions can be caused by exposure to certain chemicals at work. Collectively known as dermatitis, these problems can be caused either by direct contact with an irritant that damages the outer layer of the skin or by the body’s own immune system creating an allergic reaction that affects the skin. You may experience redness, itching, weeping or a painful cracking of the skin. Contact dermatitis caused by irritants is more common than allergic reaction, causing up to 8 in every 10 cases.

Occupational dermatitis
Dermatitis literally means ‘inflammation of the skin' and arises as a result of an adverse reaction to chemicals, enzymes or other irritants. Owing to workplace conditions, occupational dermatitis is most common among the following professions:
•Photographic processors... •Fabric dyers •Painters and paint manufacturers •Dentists and dental nurses •Cleaners and housekeepers •Catering and kitchen staff •Hairdressers •Glass and ceramic workers •Printers •Mechanics •Construction workers
Regardless of whether the dermatitis has been caused by dyes, oils, plants or repeated exposure to water, it is possible for a worker to make a skin condition compensation claim if it can be proved that working conditions are behind the condition – settlements are likely to be higher where dermatitis has caused measurable financial loss or impacted upon earning ability.
