Published on Fri 25 Apr 2008

A Chester man has been awarded £65,000 in compensation after being exposed to asbestos, reports the Chester Evening Leader.

Joseph Douglas made asbestos roofing sheets for Ellesmere Port company HH Robertson between 1966 and 1995. He was not given any protective clothing or warned of the dangers of working with asbestos.

Mr Douglas told the Leader,

"When we were working with asbestos we were told it wasn't dangerous because it wasn't blue asbestos. I was making a living so I didn't question it."
