When UCATT, the construction union, heard that a factory owner had been ordered to pay approximately £17,500 in fines and costs for exposing his staff to asbestos, they pointed out that this was still less than the cost of doing the work properly. It can be argued, then, that appropriate fines or asbestos and mesothelioma compensation are a useful deterrent to prevent future cases of exposure.
There are, of course, many reasons for making an asbestos claim; someone suffering from an industrial disease is likely to be more concerned with the needs of his or her family, and a successful compensation claim can contribute toward matters such as the lost earnings and costs of care affecting that family.
However, the knowledge that making such a claim has a wider benefit may help to defend a claimant from the recurrent accusations in the press that making such a claim is selfish, and should help to assuage any guilt that a claimant might feel if he or she believes the accusation.
The Mirror's Killer Dust campaign cites a UCATT spokesperson on the £17,500 order who said "Unless sentences are going to be properly punitive, then bosses are going to continue to gamble with their workers' health." An asbestos compensation claim may also, therefore, act as a deterrent and thus contribute to the state of affairs where the health of employees is not gambled with.
