Injuries from Toxic Fume Exposure on the Job

For people who work in industries surrounded by potentially hazardous chemicals and toxic fumes, the risk of developing certain illnesses or injuries is a definite possibility. Employers have a certain responsibility to protect their employees as much as possible from these dangerous substances; however, for those that do experience harm, you have the right to pursue a workers’ compensation claim.

What types of symptoms are a result of exposure to toxic fumes?

  • Dizziness
  • Memory loss
  • Severe and long-lasting headaches
  • Having difficulty breathing
  • Joint pain
  • Loss of consciousness

If not treated properly, these symptoms can become even more serious and result in brain damage, permanent disabilities and even death.

What industries pose the greatest risk of toxic exposure?

  • Janitorial staff
  • Plant workers
  • Construction workers
  • Painters
  • Welders
  • Oil rig workers
