AN inspirational industrial injuries group has pulled out all the stops to support its members during the pandemic and is now enjoying the freedom of the easing of restrictions. Action on Asbestos not only provides practical support such as benefits and legal advice but also offers friendship to local people who worked in shipyards, sugar houses, factories and on building sites. Group members include individuals who have suffered from asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma, and their loved ones. Phyllis Craig, far right, of Action on Asbestos, said: We are here to help in a practical way by helping to maximise people s income and ensure they are getting the benefits they are entitled to.
A PENSIONER who suffers from a rare cancer linked to asbestos has called for all political parties to pledge to remove the fibre from public buildings. Tam Mooney says he “cannot believe” it can still be found in locations such as schools and has demanded “no risks” are taken to protect children’s future. It comes amid warnings from charity campaigners that Scotland faces a “health time bomb” if asbestos is not removed from buildings as soon as possible. The 72-year-old has been receiving treatment for mesothelioma for nearly four years after being exposed to asbestos during two decades on Glasgow’s shipyards.
