My Boss has informed me that one of our crew who was recently declared UNFIT for sea duty has filed a case of disability, and that he has acquired his illness from work. This is one of the risks of being a seafarer. You are exposed to a tough work condition which may ultimately affect your health.
This is a constant worry for me, because hubby goes onboard tanker vessels. We often joke about the "tanker effect" wherein seafarers who have been onboard tankers have a "weird way" of thinking. hehehe. But seriously, the fumes may affect hubby's health. Good thing he's not exposed to asbestos or other more poisonous substances, but still.
Oh well, maybe I'm getting paranoid again ebcause he's about to sail again. *Sigh*
