Mr Eaton started work at Hawker Siddeley on Greengate, Chadderton in 1972 as an apprentice fitter. The company was taken over and later became British Aerospace and what is now BAE Systems. He continued to work there until 2005.
WE Solicitors have now obtained tens of thousands of pounds worth of compensation on behalf of former workers at the Wolverhampton Goodyear factory who are suffering with noise induced hearing loss.
It was reported in the June edition of Hazards magazine that unions are becoming increasingly concerned about tinnitus caused by exposure to noise at work.
Mr Alan Slater was exposed to excessive levels of noise, whilst working for Royal Ordnance Factory, later taken over by BAE Systems Ltd. He was employed as an Apprentice, Mechanical Engineer, Machine Setter and Tool Maker and exposed to the noise of various machines including, Wyvomatic machines, Haesler Rotary Transfer, Schaublin machines, milling machines, grinders and lathes.
I was disappointed to watch BBC Panorama on 2nd July 2012 where it was revealed that the Central Claims Group, (CCG) an accident management company based in Bury, Lancashire has been allegedly cold calling clients, according to the programme makers, advising customers to make claims for noise induced hearing loss against former employers. The program showed customers being duped into believing that CCG had legitimately obtained their data but in affect the call centre staff had simply called people at random out of the telephone book.
