Coke Oven Workers Compensation Claims

Thousands of former coke oven workers and their families may be entitled to compensation if workers have developed lung cancer or respiratory disease as the result of exposure to harmful dust and fumes whilst at work.

It is important to note that the right to claim compensation also applies to past employees, even if they worked at coking plants several decades ago or those companies operating the plant have long since closed.

Many coke fuel workers have been or are being exposed to toxic by-products as a result of their work.

Can I claim?

In August 2012, a decision was made by Parliament to add “Lung Cancer for Coke Oven Workers” to the list of prescribed industrial diseases. A few months later, a landmark case was won, where the National Coal Board Phurnacite plant in Wales was held responsible for a number of respiratory diseases of its former workers, opening the doors to any former coke oven workers who have suffered as a result of their working conditions.

This has affected many former workers and their families, particularly in areas in the North of England where there were a number of working coke plants.
