Skin Disease

Causes of skin disorders
Occupational Skin Diseases (OSD’s) are the second most common type of occupational illness which affect thousands of people every year. OSD’s often occur after exposure to chemicals such as solvents, acids and cutting fluids and generally hinder the worker's performance and productivity, as well as their quality of life. If you suffer from an injury, which is a result of your employer failing to take adequate care to protect you, then you may have a claim.
