25.01.2022 Prior to the mid 1980’s, asbestos was used as a component in an extraordinarily wide variety of products found in both the workplace and the home. Because asbestos related diseases usually develop at least 30 years after initial exposure, it is important to be aware of the risk and have regular health checks if you think you may have once been exposed to asbestos fibres. Segelov Taylor Lawyers are legal experts in asbestos exposure and can advise you about your options if you think you have an asbestos related claim.

20.01.2022 There seem to be stories about dumping asbestos materials (or about dumped asbestos materials being found on a building site, or park, or in the bush, or about increased fines for dumping) almost everyday. While the dumpers should be prosecuted, the underlying problem is not being addressed. Governments have made it incredibly expensive and difficult to dispose of materials containing asbestos safely. They should provide assistance, training and subsidies to get rid of th...ese dangerous materials. The effect of these policies is a marketplace where unscrupulous individuals who are willing to risk lives by disposing of old asbestos containing materials in public places can charge a great deal for removal, and obtain great profits for themselves. If the cost of asbestos disposal was reduced , this incentive would disappear. The amount of these dangerous materials dumped unsafely would also be reduced. See more
