    Toluene Poisoning Claims

    Updated July 2026

    Toluene is a clear liquid which can be found in domestic products like paints, paint thinners and adhesives. It is also used industrially when producing plastics, rubbers and some medicines. Toluene poisoning claims are usually made by people who have inhaled vapours of this toxic substance, although it can also be swallowed or absorbed through the skin.

    Controlling Toluene Poisoning in the Workplace

    The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) forms part of health and safety law and requires employers to ensure all employees are suitably protected from harmful substances like toluene. Physical protection like specialised clothing and eyewear is needed in some cases. Toluene poisoning claims also result when suitable ventilation and adequate breaks are not given to those working with a high concentration of toluene.

    Those who have pursued toluene poisoning claims have often complained of headaches, nausea and lack of coordination as initial symptoms. When there has been an extreme amount of vapours inhaled poisoning can result in unconsciousness. Your skin can become irritated and develop a rash if there is contact with this substance. In all cases, it is imperative that you seek medical treatment straight away.

    Making Your Claim For Toluene Poisoning

    Before you begin your claim for poisoning in an industrial setting you should first check with your symptoms with your GP who can carry out tests which can measure how much toluene is in your body.

    If you work in the printing industry, paint or rubber manufacturing, engineering or footwear trade, you are at more risk of coming into contact with toluene.
