Chemical Poisoning

Chemical poisoning is an example of a workplace industrial disease and is one that is a major public health concern with approximately 95% of all accidental poisoning being due to chemicals.

There are currently millions of natural and synthetic chemicals in our world and 3,000 are known to cause significant health problems. Chemical poisoning is caused by the ingestion, inhalation or absorption of harmful substances by the body.

Chemical poisoning is an occupational hazard that shouldn’t happen as the right precautions and the right proceedings to prevent it should be put in place. Chemical poisoning can have serious effects on your life and can be the cause of many different types of illness and disease. There are sadly however numerous ways in which workers may be affected by chemical poisoning and there are many ways in which chemical poisoning can affect and invade the environment of workers such as polluted air, for example, workers in poorly ventilated plants that manufacture paints and pesticides etc, radiation is another factor that can be an occupational hazard due to things like poorly constructed nuclear chemical plants. Also miners are at risk of contaminated environments and fire fighters for example are at risk of obnoxious fumes.
