Among those people is well known campaigner Bernie Banton, whose life and work touched so many. Bernie passed away on this day one year ago. The day is also an opportunity to unite in our concern for potential future victims of this silent killer. This year we recognise the ongoing threat posed domestic asbestos, especially for those who either do not recognise it or who do not know how to handle it safely when they discover it in their homes.
