The trade union UNISON has revealed that nearly £2 million has been awarded to members who have suffered from deadly asbestos-related diseases including mesothelioma in the last year alone.

The figure was intended to highlight the risk that many workers face just doing their day-to-day jobs.

Many of its workers have been exposed to asbestos and have subsequently contracted diseases such as mesothelioma from their time spent in oil refineries, hospitals, chemical plants, schools, building sites, shipyards, factories, building sites and even while taking their lunch in canteens.
