Chemical and Bacterial Poisoning

We specialise in cases of chemical and bacterial poisoning at work. There are a number of regulations which can apply, for example the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988 - please see our industrial disease pages. We believe these cases are now a lot easier to succeed in since our landmark breakthrough case Dugmore v Swansea NHS Trust (2003).
