Have you suffered a personal injury as a result of exposure to chemicals?

Injuries caused by reactions to chemicals are more common than many people think.

In fact, in the UK alone over £30million is spent just on gloves to protect workers form chemicals.

Nevertheless, despite the vast majority of firms adhering to the government's COSHH regulations and having the proper safety precautions in place to protect their employees and customers, accidents can and do happen.

Chemical compensation claims for members of the public

One of the more common chemical injuries we encounter here at Camps Solicitors involves chemical burns to the head and scalp caused by the application of dyes and colours by hairdressers. In most hairdressers, before any colours, highlights or dyes are applied to your hair, they will often perform a patch test by applying a small quantity of the chemical to the skin a few days before your appointment, to test if there is any allergic reaction or sensitivity.

In the vast majority of hairdressers this is standard practice; however there are still some hairdressers and salons that will apply potentially harmful chemicals to the hair without first testing to see if the recipient is allergic to them. Therefore it will come as no surprise that most chemical burns suffered to the head are caused by hairdressing products carelessly applied.
