Occupational Illness

Asbestos

Asbestos was used extensively in industry and in construction particularly in the 1950s and 1960s. Very few employers took proper precautions and as a result many workers were negligently exposed to asbestos dust.

Some people who are exposed to asbestos do not go on to develop an asbestos-related condition. Others do. Even the medical experts cannot explain why this may be, although it is thought that it depends on each individual’s personal susceptibility and the strength of their immune system.
