Action Mesothelioma Day 6 July 2012 #4

This year`s Action Mesothelioma Day has now taken place.

I posted short articles on some of the events that took place around the country earlier today at http://bookshelvesandbrownale.blogspot.com and http://webdub.blogspot.com. If you would like more information about the day, please contact either Liz Darlison or Tracey Heseltine at www.mesothelioma.uk.com.

I had intended to post a fourth bulletin on the subject of AMD on this blog before it happened, but with one thing and another it didn`t get done.

Slightly belatedly, I will just now mention a couple of sources that I`d intended to highlight in that bulletin.

One is a report on asbestos in schools from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Occupational Health and Safety. As you might know, APPG`s are informal groupings of MPs usually from the Con,Lab and LibDem parties who share an interest in a particular issue or subject.

Although the APPGOHS has close links with the trade union movement, if you thought it was Labour-dominated you`d be wrong - as far as I can see, it is divided evenly between Labour and Coalition MPs.

The report can be found here ;

The other couple of items I`d wanted to mention are here ;

As I`ve said before, anything anyone can do to help publicise the issues surrounding asbestos, by means of blogs and social networking sites would be very much appreciated.

  1. Hi,
    I for one, I would like to help you on your campaign regarding asbestos on matters. News reports on asbestos in schools around the UK which show that over 75% have some form of asbestos product within them. The most worrying part is that of all of the schools inspected none were fully compliment with the legislation set by the HSE to protect our children and staff from asbestos. Historically, asbestos was valued for its insulating and fire resistance qualities.It was first recorded to be in use during Caesars reign in Rome,any home built before 1974 may have had asbestos used in it. But still there are new ways and safety ideas. Any remodeling or removing you may need to have an asbestos consultant asked to have a sample taken.Asbestos Removal in Dallas they collect samples of the suspect building materials and have them tested to a certified lab to see whether they contain asbestos or not. It means asbestos are not that much of a danger as long as you know where it is and how to threat it.
