To mark ACTION MESOTHELIOMA DAY on 27th February 2007, the TUC called for a better awareness of the problem, and for better treatment of those affected by asbestos related diseases. It also called for more research to find a cure.
It wants employers to do more to protect staff from asbestos exposure, citing the fact that just one asbestos disease, mesothelioma kills more than 2000 people every year.
Although the use of asbestos has now been banned in the UK it is still found in an estimated one and a half million workplaces.
