Injury

The effects of exposure to electro-magnetic fields whether as a consequence of an accident in the workplace or in a public place, is a dangerous condition that means you are entitled to make a radiation exposure compensation claim for radiation poisoning or radiation sickness. Persistent exposure has damaging effects on the human body that can cause suffering and endure for years. Physical damage is usually linked to occupations in which people are exposed for considerable periods of time – sometimes very small amounts every day however there are also potentially damaging effects from a severe but short burst of radiation exposure, such as that occurring after an accident.

Exposure & Cancer

The process of damage as a result of radiation exposure involves electromagnetic fields harming cells, that can subsequently become cancerous or by reduction of immunity to infectious disease. In spite of this, being exposed to radiation does not necessarily mean that you’ll suffer from ill health and it is not correct to assume that exposure to harmful radiation, will lead to cancer. It has been known for employees to have worked in atmospheres in which there were dangerous emissions were features and not to have suffered ill effects.

Health & Safety

The responsibility for safety does not just lie with the worker. It is the duty of employers to provide a safe workplace, including safety apparatus and protective clothing and to ensure that employees follow the rules and adopt safe working practices to protect themselves and others from radiation exposure. You should have received competent and comprehensive training about how to safely and correctly handle dangerous materials in the workplace. Failure by an employer on any of these points will make the employer liable in negligence if an incident does occur.
