“A terminal cancer victim fears she contracted the disease after being exposed to asbestos while working at a school in Honley. And now Kirklees Council are investigating her claims. Lorraine Carter, a former cleaner and teaching assistant at Honley High School, is among a growing number of former school workers diagnosed with mesothelioma. Almost 300 school teachers have died of the incurable disease since 1980, with 177 deaths in the last 14 years. Latest figures, for 2012, show 22 teachers died. Mrs Carter, 62, worked at the school for 25 years. She believes she was regularly exposed to asbestos due to maintenance and building work at the school. Mrs Carter also fears she may have been exposed to asbestos because of her husband Steven’s former job. He was a works engineer with a dyeing company in the 1970s, and she remembers him coming home with his boiler suit covered in asbestos dust and fibres. She recalls shaking the suit out before washing it, and fears she may have breathed in the deadly dust. “The chance that my husband’s employment may also have led to my exposure to asbestos adds insult to injury.” Mrs Carter said she was exposed to dirty and dusty environments at the school during the construction work, and was often asked to clean up afterwards.”
