Industrial environments are the location for some of the worst incidents of catastrophic injury caused by severe burns resulting from electrocution, explosions, caustic chemicals, molten metals and scalds from superheated liquids and gases.

Work accident compensation claims for this type of burn are often made by people who have worked with caustics, alkalis, acids, oils and corrosives as well as other substances outlined in the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations. Work accident compensation relating to accidents involving chemical burns are very common as the use of hazardous substances in certain workplaces is as widespread as it is necessary.

In particular explosions in the chemical industry can be life threatening and survivors may suffer from extensive third degree burns requiring skin grafts, plastic surgery and years of rehabilitation. Smoke inhalation caused by an explosion can cause respiratory injury and subsequent oxygen restriction can lead to severe brain injury.
