On June 12th 2007, icsouthlondon.co.uk reported that staff at a Sainsbury’s store are complaining of coughs, caused by dusty building work.
The shop at Lewisham Shopping Centre, Lewisham High Street is being refurbished, but one worker said that the work had resulted in a fine layer of dust settling on foods, and fine particles floating in the air. She was concerned to learn from a building contractor that there was asbestos in the building.
A spokesman for the council said that asbestos removal work takes place from time to time within the shopping centre, but that all work is notified and examined in accordance with the legal requirements.
He said more asbestos work was anticipated and health and safety officers would be working with shopping centre managers to 'ensure public and workplace safety’.
