In recent news about the dangers of exposure to asbestos, a woman who developed mesothelioma received a financial settlement from her husband's former employer.

Pleural plaques formed on her lungs after her exposure to asbestos dust. She developed mesothelioma nine years later.

The woman's husband worked an insulation company as an a lagger/thermal insulation engineer from 1966 to 1969.

The company provided no protective equipment or washing facility and she would shake her husband's work clothing before washing them.

As a thermal insulation engineer, her husband fit asbestos-containing insulation materials around pipes, boilers and ductwork.

He work in factories, offices, power stations and on ships that were thick with asbestos dust and fibers.

He also cut asbestos-containing insulation materials to size, fit insulation using clips, adhesives oand asbestos-containing cement.

Given that these tasks as an insulation engineer exposed him to asbestos, he should certainly have been required to wear protective clothing.

Many insulation engineers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
