Nitroglycerine is a colourless and oily liquid which is used in a variety of workplace settings, including the construction industry, the mining industry and the demolition industry. Long valued and feared because of its highly explosive properties, nitroglycerine also has other applications, including as a medicine for ischaemic heart disease and prostate cancer. However, it is a very powerful substance and can cause serious side effects such as headaches, loss of sexual libido and difficulty urinating – in some industry settings workers exposed to nitroglycerine may experience these symptoms as signs of a work-related injury.
Nitroglycerine headaches
In construction, mining and demolition industries, these sets of symptoms are known as "NG Head" and can sometimes lead to chronic problems such as migraines or general incapacitation. Sometimes long-term exposure may even lead to cardiac problems or dependency, leading to workers suffering withdrawal symptoms – although cases of industrial illness caused by nitorglycerine exposure are relatively rare, they do still occur and it is essential that any affected worker seeks the advice of an experience compensation solicitor.
Nitroglycerine explosions
Nitroglycerine is a violent explosive that, when detonated, can cause extremely high-energy explosions.
However, because the substance is highly unstable, its use requires expert supervision at all times.
Nitorglycerine detonations have the potential to cause serious work-related injury or death to anyone within the vicinity of the detonation and the construction, mining and demolition industries have strict rules and health and safety guidelines in place regarding its use.
