Guardian publishes tribunal documents showing 20-year safety breach at TfL

Documents disclosed during employment tribunal proceedings of former cleaner Micky Steeds reveal that TfL managers admitted for nearly 20 years they failed to issue legally required face-fitted masks. TfL has already paid over £7m in asbestos-related compensation and faces risk of further expensive legal claims. Documents show more than 20,000 asbestos-containing materials recorded across the network.
“Where the asbestos materials are damaged or in poor condition, the risk of exposure is higher because there is more opportunity for the fibres to be released into the atmosphere.”
