Why does the medical field shy away from toxic neuropathy?

@fairwinds24 what Aramark did is not surprising at all for a big company like that. Sorry for your situation with your disability. Every state has workers compensation laws governing safety as well as federal laws as well. If you’re going at this on your own get an attorney. Pond Lehocky is one of the largest WC law firms in the country and you should contact them. There are guidelines for use of the chemicals you mention. Here is a data sheet on the chemical disinfectant you claim injured you. You should have received specific training by your employer or the facility where you were working on the safe handling of the product. I don’t believe the rubber glove issue is key to your case. I was a nurse for 40 years and those gloves work very well for protection which is why you need an attorney. Because you did receive burns was it your mistake or that of your employer or hospital in training you.

thanks for the attorney info...just finished writing up an appeal, but am afraid collusion against this type of case is rampant...they prefer the broken arm scenarios where all the pieces fit their little puzzle...risk assessment by employer isn't even in the book for necessary PPE...application methods of the cleaning chemicals, namely the surface cleaner , should be done with at least a 12mil glove over the wrist due to immersion/ wringing out of rags and mops, and aramark is giving the EVS workers the el cheapo 3 mil in the palm type and then expects them to multitask and rush thru exam rooms doing all wiping, trash p/u, etc...the 4 cent a pair gloves you can get at bulk on amazon are the culprit...it took me 3.5 years of daily duties and much OT during covid, but the skin problems were popping up all over by then
