They are motivated, young and fit. But at some point there is a problem. Where does the illness come from? Is it an occupational disease?
And what does it actually mean? Follow two of our fictional characters, Hannah and Anton, and get to the bottom of things.
The history of the "occupational disease" goes back a long way. 100 years ago, it was officially recognized for the first time that some illnesses are caused by work. And that meant that those affected received treatment and - if that didn't help - a pension.
But what exactly is an occupational disease? Who decides? How do you get insurance benefits? The tricky thing is that many complaints take decades to become visible. This makes it all the more important to find out in good time.
Hannah and Anton tell you how you can protect yourself and what to do if you suspect an occupational disease - and take a look back 100 years together.
