TUC Risks 17th November 2007 reported that a teacher who developed the asbestos cancer mesothelioma as a result of exposures in a school has issued an online video warning about the dangers of the deadly fibre.
Elizabeth Bradford was informed after an inspection by her local authority employer she had been exposed to asbestos, but it was white asbestos so there wasn't a problem. In fact all forms of asbestos can cause mesothelioma, lung and other cancers.
Elizabeth said: 'I remembered, going back many, many years, I had worked in a room lined with asbestos, but I was told it was white asbestos and it was safe.'
