Nationwide, more than 270 teachers have died from asbestos-related illnesses, most probably as a result of exposure in the workplace. Although the undocumented nature of exposure in most schools can make it difficult for teachers to claim asbestos compensation, this is by no means impossible, and a significant number of claimants have been successful in doing so.
In fact, the asbestos danger in schools is far from being a thing of the past. This is why in Bradford, where at least 205 schools are thought to still contain the deadly substance, a specialist firm, Fibre Environmental Services, is making its presence felt in local schools by offering head teachers advice on how to correctly control the threat presented by the existing material.
Ian Murch, Bradford branch secretary of the National Union of Teachers, an organisation which may be able to help any teacher affected by a disease such as mesothelioma mount an asbestos compensation claim, comments, "We can't underestimate the importance of educating people properly and teachers are one of the groups most vulnerable to asbestos-related diseases, and if teachers are so are children because they are having the same exposure whether it be from a broken ceiling tile to sticking a pin in a wall. It's not scare-mongering.
"The level of mesothelioma is quite high among teachers compared with groups of people working in the building industry."
