- District Court
On the balance of probabilities the medical evidence established that exposure to workplace aerosol cleaning agents contributed to the appellant's anaphylactic reactions and respiratory condition; that exposure was not present to any material extent outside work; and the risk of such injury was significantly greater in the workplace, therefore all elements of s.7(1)(a)-(c) were satisfied and cover under s.7(1) is established.
