Occupational disease

Read a random definition: compromise verdict

A quick definition of Occupational disease:

An occupational disease is a sickness that happens to a person because of their job. It can be caused by things they breathe in, touch, or work with. If someone gets sick because of their job, they might be able to get money to help them feel better. For example, if someone gets sick from breathing in asbestos while working, they might be able to get money to help them pay for medicine and doctor visits.

A more thorough explanation:

An occupational disease is a sickness or illness that an employee develops as a result of being exposed to certain substances, working conditions, or job requirements. If an employee contracts an occupational disease, they may be entitled to compensation under state workers’ compensation laws.

For example, the Pennsylvania Occupational Disease Act provides compensation for employees who contract occupational diseases such as:

  • Poisoning by benzol
  • Infection or inflammation of the skin due to oils
  • Asbestosis from handling asbestos
  • Diseases of the heart and lungs
  • Poisoning by arsenic, lead, or mercury

These examples illustrate how exposure to certain substances or working conditions can lead to serious health problems. For instance, handling asbestos can cause asbestosis, a lung disease that can be fatal. Poisoning by benzol, arsenic, lead, or mercury can also have serious health consequences.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
