Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

The well known gas carbon monoxide is encountered in a number of industrial situations, and poisoning cases can occur, particularly amongst miners, garage employees and gas workers.

In addition, office workers can be exposed as a result of faulty boilers.

The consequences of carbon monoxide exposure are highly variable. Very low levels may cause headaches, nausea, lethargy and lack of concentration. Very high levels may even cause death.

There are detailed regulations which are designed to protect workers from exposure to gas, chemicals and other substances in the workplace - the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988, otherwise known as the COSHH Regulations. Anyone who has experienced, or suspects they may have experienced, exposure to a gas such as carbon monoxide in the course of carrying out their work may be entitled to compensation.
