Are Chemicals A Danger On Construction Sites?
If you're a construction worker in New York City, you're familiar with the physical risks that come with the job. One of the little-known hazards of construction work is the risk of chemical contamination. Exposure to chemicals both through contact and through inhalation is among the leading causes of disability for those working in the construction industry. LipsigBronx also states that different work sites or environments are likely to have corrosive, synthetic chemicals. Some of those chemicals include thinning and alkylating agents, acids and bases and oxidizers, that have the potential to penetrate through the skin and cause chemical burns. The injuries that come out of such burns depend on a variety of factors.
According to OSHA, chemical-related injuries and illnesses in the construction industry can run the gamut from inhaling chemicals that deprive us of oxygen, to poisoning from diesel exhaust or lead and asphalt fumes. Because all of these contaminants are extremely commonplace on construction sites, anyone working in construction runs the risk of disability through chemical means.
Contractors with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) or Environmental Illness (EI) are at an elevated risk of contracting an illness on the job. If you suspect that you may suffer from either of these conditions, or that you have been otherwise injured or rendered ill on the job, it is vital to contact a personal injury attorney so that you can begin seeking proper compensation.
Because chemical-related injuries and illnesses can be especially hard to trace, a personal injury attorney is necessary to investigate and flesh out the details of your case. A skilled attorney knows how to examine the symptoms you are exhibiting and the condition of your workplace in order to establish grounds for advocating for workers' compensation.
