Occupational Illness is  an injury or illness caused by something you have done , or come into contact with, at work.

These types of claim include asbestos and respiratory-based disease claims, noise-related conditions, vibration white finger cases (caused by long term exposure to vibration transmitted to the hands from tools and machinery), work-related upper limb disorders (commonly called RSI – Repetitive Strain Injury) and dermatitis-type claims following, typically, exposure to some harmful substance.

Where injury is caused by stress occasioned at work, often resulting from pressure or volumes of work of an unreasonable amount, there can be a claim for compensation.
