“He sent her back to go and fill the sandwich (shelves) which at that point would be covered in asbestos dust”

Business quote of the day.

By New Statesman

According to a BBC investigation, Marks & Spencer recieved a fine 10 years after it was warned about asbestos contamination.

Health and safety inspector William Wallace told the BBC he saw dust falling on a worker stacking shelves, who was asked to move by construction workers.

The night manager responsible for the refilling of the shelves came and went absolutely ballistic at us, and told us that we don’t tell his staff where to go and he sent her back to go and fill the sandwich (shelves) which at that point would be covered in asbestos dust.
