Herdman’s Flax Mill, once a cornerstone of Northern Ireland’s textile industry, employed generations of workers who were exposed to high levels of industrial noise daily. Over time, this constant exposure has left many former employees suffering from noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus. As these conditions can significantly impact the quality of life, it’s crucial to recognise and address the health consequences faced by those who dedicated years of service to this historic mill. At Paschal O’Hare Solicitors, we are committed to helping former Herdman’s Flax Mill workers secure the compensation they deserve for their hearing loss.
Herdman’s Flax Mill: A Key Employer in Northern Ireland
Established in 1835, Herdman’s Flax Mill was more than just a workplace; it was the heart of a village designed around the linen industry. For decades, it provided stable employment to around 1,000 workers at its peak, fostering a community that grew up around the mill. The mill’s long history is intertwined with the lives of its employees, many of whom worked there for generations.
However, the decline of the linen industry, exacerbated by global competition, led to the mill’s eventual closure in the early 2000s. The loss of 250 jobs was a significant blow to the community, which had evolved around the mill. The closure also led to various legal challenges, as former employees grappled with issues related to redundancy, unfair dismissal, and pension rights.
