Before: WHIPPLE, DOWNING and HUGHES, JJ.
This matter arises from two injuries that were alleged to have occurred in the workplace. Two employees of a hospital alleged that they each contracted an occupational disease by being exposed to toxic mold while at work. After a trial on the merits, the workers' compensation court concluded that the plaintiffs failed to prove causation. The workers' compensation court also concluded that plaintiffs failed to prove they suffered an occupational disease or suffered any disability contracted during the scope of their employment. The plaintiffs appealed the judgment. After a thorough review of the record, we conclude that the workers' compensation court did not err. Therefore, we affirm the judgment. Thus, in accordance with Uniform Court of Appeal Rule 2-16.2A(8), the decision is affirmed. Costs are assessed to the plaintiffs/appellants.
AFFIRMED.
