BSG’s Response to ‘Sun’ Article
BSG echoes the comments made by the HSE in response to yesterday’s article in the ‘Sun’ about wood dust. Over 1.4 million new or long-standing Work-related ill health cases, 12,000 deaths from lung disease (excluding Mesothelioma) have been linked to past exposures at work and 30.7 million work days lost due to ill health in 2018. Visit our Members’ Secure Information area for advice about the actions companies can take to mitigate against the risks of working with dust.
