Here in the UK it has been a very slow, painful and tragic journey from first recognising asbestos as a dangerous substance to instituting the regulations of 1969, which simply sought to "manage asbestos contact", to eventually allowing those with asbestos related conditions to claim, as appropriate, asbestosis compensation, mesothelioma compensation, and diffuse pleural thickening compensation.
The asbestosis situation in India
However, not all countries have been as quick as Britain to officially recognise the dangers of the deadly substance, particularly developing nations.
For example, asbestos continued to be mined in India as recently as 2005. This means that the tragedy of asbestos will continue to be felt in India well into the middle part of the twenty-first century.
As such, cases of asbestosis will continue to be diagnosed en masse, often in single days, such as in August 2011 when doctors working on behalf of the Mine Labour Protection Campaign (MLPC) tested 250 former asbestos mine workers and found that more than 100 were suffering asbestosis – many of these workers then decided to proceed with claims for asbestosis compensation.
The asbestos situation in Britain
The fact that Britain's asbestos laws are more stringent than some other nations does not mean we should rest on our laurels. In fact, in 2011 the EU admonished the UK for failing to fully comply with the European Asbestos Directive 2009/148/EC.
Additionally, with many public buildings, including schools, still containing a high level of asbestos it is clear that, with the gestation period for some diseases being as many as 50 years, the tragedy of asbestos will continue to be felt in the UK for generations to come.
