Settlement of £300,000 for engineer exposed to asbestos

Mr C. was diagnosed with mesothelioma, an asbestos related cancer, at the age of 59 as a result of exposure to asbestos dust at work.
How was he exposed to asbestos at work?
Mr C. was exposed to asbestos during his apprenticeship as an Engineer with the Ministry of Defence.
It was all too common at this time that employers exposed employees to asbestos dust and didn’t take adequate health and safety precautions, breaching Common Law duty to take reasonable care of their employees.
