Understanding Asbestos Exposure in Manitoba
While Manitoba isn’t known for asbestos mines like Quebec, asbestos was widely used in building materials like insulation from the 1920s to the 1990s. This puts employees at companies in construction and demolition trades at high risk. Mesothelioma cases in Manitoba have historically been lower compared to other territories. However, this number has gradually increased since the early 1970s due to improved disease detection in healthcare and exposure occurring decades before the implementation of safety measures. This rise in the number of diagnoses is concerning, and individuals are entitled to asbestos trust fund compensation even from exposure long ago.
