Hope this is in the right area:
An old work colleague gas recently passed away, I won't say work Mate because I hated the Bloke, he was about a year or 2 older than me and we were Apprentices at the same time. Part of our Apprenticeship all the Lads would spend some time repairing Appliances, Irons, toasters etc ( yes back in the 60s these things were repairable). Anyway this Chaps death has prompted his Widow to pursue a case against our former Employer, not sure how that's going to work out as he has been long gone for about 30 years. My question/point is the elements for these Appliances had Asbestos insulation, and this his what His Widow is aiming to get compensation for, I was only doing this for about a month, unlike him, he did it for years, question is what are your thoughts regarding Asbestos contamination from these items, my own thoughts are not a chance?
