The environment in which you are required to work can lead to exposure to loud, noisy equipment and machinery. Claims for hearing loss are common in excessively noisy workplaces, as day-to-day exposure causes damage to nerves in the ear.
Employers have a duty to comply with health and safety regulations to ensure that employees are provided with a safe place of work, a safe system of work and the proper personal protective equipment to eliminate the chance of harmful exposure to excessive noise.
If you think that you have suffered hearing loss as a result of your employment, call us now for advice in relation to a possible claim.
