The Supreme Court of Finland dismissed the claimant's request for compensation based on occupational solvent poisoning. The claimant, an automatic machine operator, suffered from brain changes consistent with solvent exposure or heavy alcohol use, but the court found no definitive causal link to workplace exposure. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the evidence failed to prove the illness was work-related rather than due to personal habits or other factors.

Regesto Legislator

Work Injury Act 1985; Social Insurance Act 1913: Compensation for occupational solvent poisoning requires a medically established causal link between workplace exposure and the specific illness, which must be distinguished from symptoms attributable to personal habits or other non-work causes.
