YOUNG tradespeople are being warned of the dangers of Asbestos which kills six electricians and three plumbers every week.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has launched a campaign to warn of the dangers of the “hidden-killer” epidemic which has killed 661 people across Merseyside in the past 20 years.
Helena Owen, of Aigburth, lost her husband of 35 years, Robert (Bobby) to Mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer caused by asbestos, in March, 2007. A print and radio campaign using Helena’s picture has been created and will be shown to Everton fans attending a game at Goodison Park.
Bobby was 61 and had worked as a pipe fitter between the ages of 16 and 23.
