Today we were raising awareness for an irreversible lung disease called Silicosis, which is thought to be the biggest health risk to construction workers after asbestos.
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Respiratory Health states that Eighty-one per cent of workers exposed to silica are employed in the construction industry. However, it is easily preventable with the right PPE, so today I wanted to know whether you’re looking after your lungs on site?
We spoke to Leigh Griffiths and Phillip Gaches to hear how you should be protecting your lungs on site and the harsh reality of the consequences!
Plus, there's also the pub lunch quiz and you’ll hear the very best messages we received!!!
