Can I make a claim exposure to asbestos for being asked to remove asbestos by my old employer with no survey or no training?
I was also asked to access roof tops with no fall preventions in place or rescue plans.
I would work over 12 hours some days with no breaks. I left my position due to stress I am worried they have exposed me to asbestos after learning about it in health and safety card courses and feel I have some of the symptoms of asbestosis now years after i was on the job.
I handed in my notice and left due to the unhealthy demands which lead to the stress but I handled asbestos without being provided with PPE, no gloves, no face mask or eye ware and now a few years later I have breathing troubles and they are similar to what I hear asbestosis is like.
I am going to go to the doctor to get diagnosed with asbestos related lung cancer or other diseases.
Would I have a case to sue my old boss to claim compensation for endangerment and for the costs to my health from the asbestos related injuries I may have?
