And that makes it better how??

A relative of mine worked in his earlier life for Westland helicopters, who
of course no longer existed when he found he had been affected with asbestos
while working on the wiring looms in cramped spaces with no protection. No
sod at the company now owning the company would give him any compensation,
and most of the work was for government contracts too, no joy there either.
He died in his fifties and was on oxygen for his last three years.

81? FFS, yes. The asbestos probably robbed him of 40 years of life.

Supposedly kills 6 electricians a week.

It's the claim that they know which bit of asbestos killed him that I do not
like. He was 82. He probably played with the stuff when he was of school
age.

It doesn't make it better at all, but he was a surgeon who was exposed to it
once in 81 years.
There were thousands of people worked at asbestos factories for decades who
never developed it at all and a very small percentage of workers did.

What's the chances?

yes he might put the odd lampshade up but doing jobs that involve getting
covered in ****e or sweating get delegated to someone on far less money

Or wandered through the dust from the pipe lagging being removed at a
hospital he worked at or said dust entered the ventilation system. There
are a fair number of similar cases. The telling story is at the end of
the article, two people one with much higher exposure than the other and
the lower exposure person is the one with mesothelioma...

Time will tell if spending several years working in a studio block built
of asbestos panels, that had monitoring equipment installed and
everything gained a thin layer of grey dust after a few days will have
any affect on me. Will mesothelioma or the Parkinson's get me first?

Well I could easily afford to get people in for most things. Indeed,
doing so would probably allow me to work enough extra hours to actually
be in profit! However, there is great satisfaction in doing things yourself.

don't you remember Rawlplastic? used for filling irregular holes in walls
before fixing a screw. It was nearly all asbestos fibres.

If one exposure of asbestos fibres is enough all of us over 40 odd would
be dead.
train brakes, truck and car brakes ,were spewing fibres everywhere
millions of houses were covered with the stuff, hospitals lagged pipes
everywhere with it, fire blankets,etc

On the basis that Parkinson's isn't a direct killer, something secondary
is the normal cause of a Parkinson's related death (fall, infection).
Then I'd put the mesothelioma marginally above the lion.

I would not wish either on anyone. What's the odd's on getting mauled to
death by a lion suffering from mesothelioma.

And if you ever want to see an apprentice get a real bollocking then come
and watch me if they do not follow the asbestos rules.

Beats me how they manage on £180K. They must have to be tightarses.

I don't know any consultant or surgeon who thinks they make decent
money, they're too busy complaining about the GPs they trained with
who now make twice as much.

Some people can virtually eat the stuff with no effect.
Others get an asbestos related disease just handling slightly
contaminated clothing.
Asbestos is everywhere these days.
