When you look at the overall numbers provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) during the latest year, you will see that approximately 2.8 million people sustained workplace injuries and over 5,000 workers died. Unless you dig a little deeper into the numbers, you will not see that exposure to harmful substances was one of the leading killers:
We have robust workplace safety standards in the US. Many federal and state agencies work to ensure that workers are provided with safe working conditions. However, chemicals pose particular dangers, both internally and externally.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) says that chemicals and other toxic substances can cause:
Chemical exposure can cause immediate injuries or long-term illnesses. When we look at immediate injuries, we see things like chemical burns that can occur to the outside of our bodies and internally through ingestion or inhalation. Many chemicals are flammable, so exposure incidents are often the result of an explosion.
When we look long-term, we know that chemical exposure can cause chronic health conditions and even cancer. In these cases, injured workers may not know about the harm a chemical has caused until years after they were initially exposed.
Nobody should have to work in an unsafe environment, especially when there is a danger of chemical exposure. However, you may need to seek help from an attorney if you or a loved one have been injured or become ill in the workplace.
