About Asbestos Awareness
Even in recent years, there has been a significant increase in awareness surrounding asbestos, with more emphasis on the dangers of exposure and the resulting health risks. This increased awareness has led to the implementation of stricter regulations and safety measures to protect individuals who work with, or around, asbestos-containing materials.
Furthermore, public campaigns have been launched to raise awareness about the dangers of asbestos and how to prevent exposure.
Despite the durability and heat-resistant properties of asbestos that made it popular in various industries, it is now well-known to cause serious health issues like lung cancer, mesothelioma, and asbestosis. As such, it is crucial for those working with, or near, asbestos to take appropriate safety precautions and seek medical attention immediately if they suspect exposure.

Asbestos-Related Diseases
The term, ‘asbestos-related diseases’ refers to the four main types of asbestos disease caused by exposure to asbestos. It usually takes repeated exposure to fairly high doses of asbestos for someone to get asbestos disease. That is why asbestos disease is referred to as an industrial disease.
Most of the 5000 people who die from asbestos-related diseases every year, will have gained exposure to asbestos in industrial settings.
The Asbestos Awareness team assists people in claiming compensation if they are suffering, or have suffered from, any of the following:
