Asbestos in public buildings affecting new generation of workers

BBC News has reported that a new generation of workers is developing asbestos related diseases from working in public buildings. These workers work in jobs that are not historically associated with asbestos illnesses. Traditionally, people who developed asbestos illnesses were those who worked in the blue collar industry.

In recent years, workers exposed to asbestos from public buildings have included doctors, teachers and nurses. An asbestos testing association is asking the government to establish a register containing information to identify schools, hospitals and residential premises containing asbestos.
