TUC general secretary Paul Nowak has called for a “national mission” to remove asbestos from the UK’s workplaces. We need a fully funded, government-led programme to remove asbestos ‘from every school and every hospital’.
Nowak said “We have to be honest about the scale of the challenge we face. And none is bigger than asbestos. It remains the biggest occupational killer in Britain. And we have the highest rate of asbestos cancers in the world”.
