Businesses urged to do more to prevent workers from exposure to asbestos
The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) has called on businesses to do more to prevent workers from exposure
to asbestos. The IOSH said that work-related exposure to asbestos kills more than 230,000 a year globally. According to the
IOSH, this updated figure, first published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health in 2018,
dwarfs previous estimates of over 107,000.
