With only around 100 days to go to the instigation of the new 'duty to manage' asbestos, the latest BMA report about asbestosis seems a timely reminder to us all. The duty to manage asbestos in the workplace is founded on the need to save lives, not to increase bureaucracy.
As the BBC report on their web pages, With the "West 'facing asbestos epidemic' ... 100,000 people alive today will die from mesothelioma". The issue appears to be how many and when. With numbers rising year-on-year in the UK, damage claims are rising too. Equitas, the Lloyd's of London re-insurer, have just settled the largest single claim it faced for asbestos-related diseases, as it agreed to pay £317m to Halliburton, the oilfields services company.
The Duty to Manage Asbestos is part of the Control of Asbestos at Work (2002) regulations and sets out to protect the most vulnerable workers, tradesmen and maintenance workers by getting every workplace manager to assess the risks to workers as part of their management processes.
