Compensation payouts for workers suffering major lung disease

0

Major lung disease can be encountered many years after the first hazardous dust exposure. Once the first symptoms appear, the disease can even be in the late stages. As the victim most likely to be unaware of the progressing disease, all workers with work experience in specific industries should have their conditions checked. The most fatal airway diseases are asbestosis and silicosis, which can be found in warehouses, stone-cutting manufactories, mines and constructions. Workers in these industries should ensure that their working equipment provides sufficient protection.

The worker’s loss is compensable; however, major lung and airway disease can last permanently and be painful. Under the laws, employers of these workplaces should provide equipment and gears sufficient to protect the worker from the hazardous dust. If the employer fails to do so, he/she can be charged with intentional negligence and will be liable for the worker’s injuries.

Workers compensation and lethal dust diseases

Asbestosis, silicosis and suchlike dust diseases can leave permanent damages on the respiratory system of the victim. On the other hand, laws give the option to claim compensation to the victim, which can be very beneficial for recovering the loss. The compensation mostly includes weekly payments for the victim whilst being off work due to the disease, payments for medical expenses and lump sum payment for impairment and decreased earning capacity.

The process can be confusing as the necessary investigation for the claim will include since the day of first dust exposure. Which means, the workers’ almost entire work history will be taken into consideration to determine the employer’s liability. However, this might not be necessary as workers compensation is based on the no-fault system and the worker can still receive compensation payments regardless of negligence that caused the injuries/diseases.

Employer’s liability in hazardous dust exposure

In no circumstances, the employees should be exposed to dust without necessary protective equipment. Additionally, not every equipment can be protective enough to dust exposure. The employers must make sure the equipment provided to workers is suitable for industrial usage. Silicosis and asbestosis are preventable to a large extent. As these diseases are preventable, it is expected of the employer to protect his/her workers just as a reasonable employer would. In workers compensation claims, the infected worker’s negligence isn’t taken into consideration whilst determining eligibility for compensation. However, the employer’s negligence can cause them trouble.

How to claim dust disease compensation

Depending on the uniqueness of the situation, the extent of the compensation that is to be awarded might differ. Generally, compensation includes monetary damages to cover the victim’s loss. Such dust diseases are known for leaving permanent damages on the victim. Due to the victim’s loss in the functions of organs, the victim might not be able to work and earn in the foreseeable future. The aim of the compensation is to provide lump sum payment to workers whose capacity to earn has reduced drastically and with permanent impairment.

Evaluation of the infected worker’s impairment, capacity to perform daily exercises independently and reaching a conclusion to determine the compensable loss can be a long process. The claimant should give a huge effort to the claim and support his/her claim with documents and evidence that can shorten the process. On the other hand, a dust disease lawyer can also follow the process for you, lead you through the process and once necessary, fight for your rights.

Luckily in Australia, workers suffering injuries can benefit from a lawyer’s services free of charge as Workers Compensation Independent Review Office – WIRO covers the lawyer fees to support workers in need.

Toronto’s Ebhoni Drops New Single “X-Ting”

0

Emerging as a global force of nature, 21-year-old Toronto-born singer and songwriter Ebhoni shares a simmering and striking new single entitled “X-Ting” today. This time around, she fuses an island bounce with a bop-worthy hook as she delivers as a lusty ode to an ex with charisma, confidence, and Caribbean vibes.

Just last month, she returned with “Hit This.” In addition to a plug from Pitchfork, HotNewHipHop wrote, “Ebhoni has been one artist to keep an eye out for in the 6ix,” and The Root described it best by claiming, “The song makes you feel like you’ve been sipping on a fancy cocktail for the last few hours.” It’s no wonder FLAUNT crowned her “Our favorite new R&B artist.”

Right now, she’s channeling all of these bad gyal vibes into her debut EP—coming this year.

Over the last few years, Ebhoni’s string of animated, confident R&B singles has won both commercial and critical success. In the middle of a productive 2019 run, Pitchfork wrote that she is “reclaiming the Toronto R&B crown for women.” Throughout her career, Ebhoni’s made a point to partner specifically with Black-owned businesses, support other women artists and workers, and to uplift the local LGBTQ+ community, which she’s done through efforts like hosting Pride Toronto. Ebhoni is a must-follow.

Synth-Popper GRUMPY KITTY BOY Confronts Reality in Striking New “Blue Eyes” Single

0

Award-nominated and internationally esteemed Toronto-based artist Juro Kim Feliz’s synth-pop alter ego Grumpy Kitty Boy personifies the plight of people who need to let go of the past, live in the present, and look after themselves further ahead in this, his new single, “Blue Eyes” — available now.

With a sentiment surrounding ‘but who am I? I’ll never know,” Grumpy Kitty Boy’s story surrounds feeling lost while singing about things that “don’t make sense,” Feliz explains. “He seems to suffer from amnesia while living in his ‘Unwanted’ adoption box, and sings about things like the night sky, zodiac signs, shattered TV screens, horizon lines…”

Juxtaposed within a cutesy, video game-esque visual world within the video, these lyrical twists wind to the fact that Grumpy Kitty Boy admits to not seeing reality ahead of him. “It is therefore not a case of amnesia,” Feliz offers. “He’d rather avoid past lives that now take over his destiny.

“The chorus of ‘Blue Eyes’ came together in my mind while waiting for a bus on a winter day,” the Toronto-based artist continues, recalling. “The exhausting routine of taking 1.5 hour-long commutes to work freezes one’s perception of time and space. You lose control of things as others take the wheel — for better or worse.

“There’s a parallel in the present day as the world continually faces the ongoing pandemic.

“Many of us have probably resigned ourselves into realities in which we feel stuck,” he adds. “Unlike Grumpy Kitty Boy though, I tried taking matters into my own hands instead of losing myself. Years later, I’m now past beyond enduring life in Canada as a foreigner with very few safety nets and privileges. Those imposing ‘Blue Eyes’ keep staring back, though, as if they know something I still don’t.”

The release is a striking preview to Grumpy Kitty Boy’s forthcoming debut EP, Show Me The Kibbles — set to land February 26th, 2021. Where many artists might boldly assert statements of who they are in a breakthrough release, Feliz notes he’s made a u-turn instead. “Grumpy Kitty Boy’s fictional universe exposes this resignation towards an identity crisis, disguised as amnesia with a dramatic flair,” he adds. “All ego set aside, we now ask, ‘who is he anyway?’

“Maybe — just maybe —,” he continues, “he could have been you, me, or anyone else stuck in the past who fears facing the future that stares back at them.

“Everyone has an inner ‘grumpy’ in them who lost one’s sense of self at a point in time.”

Featured in Tinnitist, Canadian Beats, Cashbox Canada, Record World, and more, “Blue Eyes” and Show Me The Kibbles continue along themes Feliz has been artfully reckoning with for some time. “Switching gears in life is a tough choice to make,” he confides. “Arriving in Montreal from Manila as a student in December of 2013, the struggle to feel secure and find a place to call home became a recurring theme for me throughout the years.

“As I focused on my art as a contemporary music composer, other opportunities came to expand the boundaries of my world,” he continues. “Eventually gaining Canadian permanent status after more than six years, the decision to switch directions and develop a singer/songwriter career felt like a fresh start in living life.”

With studies completed at the University of the Philippines and McGill University, Feliz has performed across Asia, Europe and North America as a heralded contemporary classical composer. He was nominated for a 2019 Golden Balangay Award for Excellence for Music and Entertainment, and has been a resident artist of the Brush Creek Foundation for the Arts (2018), the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts (2019), and a library resident of the Canadian Music Centre Ontario (2018 – 2020). Once co-hosting and producing the radio talk show Sigaw ng Bayan (2014-2016) at CKUT 90.3 FM Montreal, he started leaning towards music journalism and has written for the Canadian Music Centre Ontario and the magazine Musicworks.

A long-time pianist and keyboardist, Feliz soon honed in on songwriting as his sonic vehicle of choice. “It’s the most appropriate channel to express my world view,” he muses. “I figure: Be authentic! Embrace the grumpy!”

Harnessing the pull towards video game music and inspirations from The Midnight, Radiohead, Porcupine Tree, Sufjan Stevens, and Owl City’s synth pop sound, for example, Feliz started producing instrumental tracks in lieu of forming a band. “That process caters well to my composer instincts,” he shares. “This is an opportunity to express the ‘grumpy life’ through an alter-ego’s fictional eyes.”

It was the latch onto the pouting cat emoji that is Grumpy Kitty Boy, however, whose ‘world’ would become “as clear as daylight,” he says. “Through this, I can tell stories and be in touch with real, deep feelings about reality that’s often left ignored and suppressed in people’s conception of emanating positivity in life.”

Toronto’s Theatrical Power Pop Band DOUGLAS VON IRVIN’S CARNIVAL Announces Spooky New Single, “Ultra Man”

0

Douglas Von Irvin’s Carnival, or DVIC, is an up-and-coming songwriting collective dedicated to generating feelings and emotion with not only their music, but films too. The project was formed by the mysterious lead singer, Von Irvin and the band’s “spiritual advisor,” Dr. Prycenstein (Dave Pryce).

To kick off the new year, the “Monster Garage Pop” pioneers have just announced the release of their fifth and latest single, “Ultra Man” — along with a brand-new, theatrical music video. The four minute, 20 second-spanning video extravaganza is a space epic, starring Von Irvin as a lost pilot, and Dr. Prycenstein as his crewmate.

The band’s power pop sound and theatrical nature is reminiscent of that of bands like Blue Oyster Cult and Cheap Trick. Add in a pinch of spooky and you’ve got the next Alice Cooper band. The masterminds behind DVIC — rooted in Ontario, California, South Africa, and England — describe their sound as “if Roy Orbison and The Cramps had a baby.”

Throughout 2020, DVIC released their first four singles: “Cave Man Rock,” “Vampire Lovers,” “Punk Rock Heart,” and “Monster Pool Party.” Along with “Ultra Man,” the five eclectic tunes will comprise the group’s debut EP, Meet the Monsters — which is currently scheduled for release this spring.

To record Meet the Monsters, the enigmatic duo joined forces with producer Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big), who also played drums and co-wrote and arranged the release; Smiley Sean from Motley Crue/Tommy Lee’s studio, The Atrium, mixed the songs.

DVIC’s ultimate “mission” is to offer fans an overall exciting experience and to give them a chance to take a break from the harsh realities of the world all while staying in tune with their minds. How do they plan to do that, some might ask? Well, with their music, images and sounds all about creatures and characters from all times and dimensions, of course. In summary, Von Irvin says: “We offer a place where all walks of life are celebrated and welcome to hang around in our carnival.”
