Asbestos awareness of the serious health risks of exposure and the breathing in of airborne fibres should always be urgent priority, not least, to be legally compliant with the ‘General Requirements’ of the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2006.

Up until the 1970s and 80s, countless products were manufactured every day in the UK using asbestos as an inexpensive insulation and fire retardant material.

The risk of exposure to asbestos in schools is an issue that is not going to go away anytime soon. Especially when building contractors fail to carry out the necessary procedures for asbestos risk assessment to prevent the release of the deadly fibre dust.

It can often be a long and patient process to finally winning a personal injury claim for mesothelioma compensation from a former employer or their insurers.

Whether by intention to cut costs or a negligent lack of asbestos awareness, throughout 2011, there were continuous reports of the illegal flytipping of building waste, which included asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
