£37,500 settlement for baker who developed occupational asthma 👇

After developing a lifelong lung condition linked to flour dust exposure at work, a bakery worker secured compensation with the support of her union, BFAWU, and Thompsons Solicitors.

Importantly, the claim also led to workplace safety improvements designed to better protect other workers from harm. 🛑

👏 Thanks to her determination to speak out, changes have been made that could help prevent others from developing the same condition in the future; a reminder that securing justice for one worker can also help make workplaces safer for others.

Philip Liptrot, Head of Personal Injury at Thompsons Solicitors, said: "Occupational asthma can have a serious and lasting impact on people's lives, but it is often preventable.

Employers have a legal duty to properly assess and control exposure to flour dust and take steps to protect their workforce from avoidable harm.”
