Asbestos was used extensively in the UK from the 1950s through to the mid 1980s. It was favoured as a building material because it is both fireproof and extremely strong. Some of the material has been removed over the years (see asbestos removal) but much still remains today. There are approximately half a million non-domestic premises in the UK which still contain some form of asbestos.
As a result of the extensive use of asbestos in building materials employees who worked with the substance, as well as their wives and children, have been known to make personal injury claims after developing an industrial illness through contact with the dangerous substance.
In order to halt the increase in asbestos-related deaths a new duty to manage asbestos was introduced in 2002. The Control of Asbestos at Work Regulations 2002 were designed to help protect the largest group at risk of exposure to asbestos, building and maintenance workers. The principal aim was to help prevent an estimated 4,700 asbestos-related deaths in the future.
At present numerous claims for asbestos compensation are still being sought. The reason for this is that symptoms of asbestos-related illness can take as many as 60 years to become apparent.
