More info

Asthma caused by laboratory animals is just one type of occupational asthma and is defined as asthma which is caused by certain substances in the workplace. Occupational asthma is the most frequently diagnosed respiratory disease in Great Britain, with between 1,500 and 3,000 people developing it every year.

Exposure to laboratory animals can cause asthma, therefore possible workers at risk are:

  • laboratory technicians
  • laboratory workers
  • scientists, among others

Animal fur, feathers, dander, dried urine and saliva dusts arise through animal handling and cage or enclosure cleaning. These dusts contain proteins, 'animal aeroallergens' that cause occupational asthma. To reduce disease, exposure to 'animal aeroallergens' needs to be reduced. Employees who develop this condition may have dusty jobs, which could include handling laboratory animals, moving and cleaning animal cages, cleaning animal areas and changing filters for ventilated areas.

Making a claim for asthma caused by laboratory animals

Employers have a legal liability to ensure the health of their employees. This includes providing them with protective equipment or a workplace that will not endanger their health. If they have failed to do this, and you have developed a medical condition like asthma as a result, then a claim for compensation may be possible.
