Before you contact anyone about a claim, take two immediate steps:
- Get medical care (and tell clinicians what happened). Even if symptoms seem mild at first, chemical injuries can worsen or change over time.
- Document the exposure while details are fresh. In Camden, this often means writing down:
- the approximate date/time and where you were (worksite, nearby property, public area, or home)
- what you believe the chemical source was (odor, fumes, cleaning products, industrial materials, etc.)
- what you were doing when symptoms began
- what protective equipment was used or missing
- whether co-workers or others noticed the same issue
If you can, save incident-related materials you already have—texts from supervisors, safety handouts, photos of the area, and any communications about a spill, odor complaint, or cleanup.
