UK Civil Claims Continue to Escalate for Toxic Diesel Fume Exposure

摘要

Local authorities are among major employers who are facing increased numbers of claims which are being supported by Trade Unions. Some Trade Unions are even setting up a diesel emissions register for employees to record their exposure to toxic air. Such claims are being brought under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH). The Regulations require employers to either prevent or reduce their employees' exposure to substances that are hazardous to their health.
