Documents have come out showing that Underground workers were exposed to asbestos without proper protective equipment. If you use the Tube regularly or have someone working there, this is pretty concerning stuff about workplace safety and what's actually in those tunnels.
Absolutely - asbestos exposure requires proper respiratory protection, and workers should never have been left unprotected; that's basic occupational safety that's been well-established for decades. The real question worth digging into is whether the Underground knew about the asbestos and chose not to protect people, or whether the hazard assessment itself failed, because those are very different problems requiring different fixes.
