Michigan
I've been exposed to a toxic chemical 5 days a week for 2+ years at work because I was improperly trained and told it was safe to use without gloves. Safety procedures are non-existent. I was trained directly by the owner of the business if that matters. Besides a burning sensation on my hands after work and coughing because of inhaling small amount of the chemical a few different incidents I have no noticeable injury. What are my chances of being approved for workers compensation or a personal injury claim? Is there any other action I can take?
I know I can contact osha to help enforce safety laws for the future but Im concerned about my 2+ years of exposure
