London Underground workers exposed to asbestos without proper masks
Hundreds of London Underground workers may have been exposed to asbestos for nearly 20 years without required safety protection. Documents reveal that managers acknowledged that employees did not receive face-fitted masks until 2020, even though regulations requiring them had been in place since 2002. Transport for London has already paid over £7 million in asbestos-related compensation and legal fees.
