Industry brochures
GB 249 OEDA/K/9/1 · Subseries · c.1980-c.1984
Part of Occupational and Environmental Diseases Association (William Ashton Tait) Archives

Set of industry brochures on construction materials, flooring, roofing, insulation, weather coating and paints, protective clothing, etc., with occasional correspondence. The majority of the material was assembled 1980-1984, both as a resource for creating SPAID's information displays and as a resource for answering inquiries about specific asbestos-containing products and asbestos-free substitutes. The displays were used as part of the SPAID stand at conferences and similar occasions.

Original housing of some of the material suggests that SPAID placement student Eleni Michael gathered a significant portion of the brochures.

Possibly recording of a seminar organised by the HSC & the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, Belfast, 12 June 1995, whose principal objective was to look at problems arising from work-related respiratory disorders, including asthma and asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestos victims in Northern Ireland were greatly disadvantaged by the lack of a local support network for sufferers; reportedly the possibility of establishing a victims-led group was discussed.
