“ZERO Asbestos” was the campaign message to take forward from the conference, Asbestos — Campaign Against All Fears.
The joint conference was held on April 16 by Derbyshire Asbestos Support Team (DAST), Asbestos Support Central England (ASCE) and Yorkshire and Humberside Asbestos Support (SARAG), and delegates heard from a number of speakers about the key asbestos problems as well as some of the ways to fight, campaign and win.
