Danisco assists in handling of industrial injury claims
Danisco extends the suspension agreements in the industrial injury claims cases pertaining to the alleged mercury poisoning of workers in the 1960s and 1970s.
Danisco has today contacted the Danish trade unions, 3F and Dansk Metal, with the purpose of extending existing agreements on the suspension of limitation periods for compensation claims for alleged mercury exposure of current and former members of the unions employed at the then Grindstedværket A/S.
Danisco will extend suspension agreements already concluded by one month until after a final administrative decision has been made in the specific cases already submitted to the National Board of Industrial Injuries.
At the time of writing, 90 claims have been filed with the National Board of Industrial Injuries.
