'Daily hazard' (May 2001) considered 'Asbestos facts' "a ‘must have’ for all advice workers, safety reps and trade union officers who are involved with this deadly dust. In addition to information about early use of asbestos and some important dates when evidence emerged of disease, it gives an extremely clear guide to the obstacle course involved in making both DSS and civil claims. The many illustrations tell much of the story: pictures of diseased lungs, electron micrographs of fibres, early use, damaged asbestos in buildings and machinery. Also of workers using air-line respirators and full protective gear in 1978. The section on DSS benefits explains key aspects of the process. It supplements official forms by important pieces of extra information. There are checklists, question and answers for DIYers and home owners. It urges self-employed workers to apply if they were exposed as an apprentice because DSS should count this as paid employment. It explains the workings of the new Community Legal Service Fund. It has four pages aimed at bereaved relatives explaining exactly why the post mortem is so vital and hoping it will ease the pain and bitterness many feel. This short pamphlet really does reflect thirty years experience."
